So, this whole thing started a while back. I’ve always been into watches, you know, the usual stuff. But lately, I got hooked on the idea of owning a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. Yeah, the “Moonwatch,” everyone’s heard of it. And this one, it had to have that clear back – the “transparent case back” they call it. I just liked the idea of seeing all the little gears and stuff moving around in there.
First, I spent hours online just looking at pictures and reading about it. Forums, blogs, you name it. Everyone seemed to have an opinion on where to find a good one, and what made it so great. Some people said to only go to an official Omega store, others say that you can find a good copy online somewhere like Amazon, but I didn’t know if I should trust that. I mean they have everything on there right? And a good copy is as good as the real thing if you can get it for cheaper right? It’s like, why pay more?
Then, I started checking out some local shops. No luck. They either didn’t have the model with the transparent back, or they were asking for way too much money. But I wasn’t giving up that easy. I kept searching. But I felt like I kept seeing the same thing. Either it was too expensive or it wasn’t the right model.
So one day last week, I don’t know what came over me, I just walked into an actual Omega store. I mean, it was kinda on a whim, but you only live once, right? I talked to the salesperson, a real nice guy. We chatted about the Moonwatch for a bit. He showed me a couple of different models, but I was set on the one with the transparent back.
After a bit of back and forth, and some serious thinking, I decided to go for it. It was the stainless steel one, the classic look. I just really liked it. They had a chronograph version in stock and I pulled the trigger. Man, seeing all those tiny parts working together in perfect harmony when I flipped it over… that’s something else. It felt good, really good. It felt like I had finally gotten what I had been hunting for a while. I don’t know, I felt really proud, maybe a little bit crazy, but proud. I had actually done it, I got the watch I wanted.
Here’s the rundown:
- Hunted online and locally: Spent a ton of time searching everywhere.
- Got lost in details: Read way too much about the watch’s history and features.
- Almost gave up: Got discouraged by the prices and availability.
- Took the plunge: Went to an Omega store on a whim.
- Fell in love: The transparent case back sealed the deal.
- Pulled the trigger: Bought it on the spot!
The Result
Now, I’ve got this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the transparent case back sitting on my wrist. It’s not a super rare collector’s item or anything, but it’s mine, and it’s exactly what I wanted. This whole experience, it was a bit of a rollercoaster. But in the end, totally worth it. It’s a reminder to myself, to go for what you want, you know? Sometimes you just gotta take that leap.
