Okay, so I’ve been on the hunt for a decent CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch for a while now. You know, the one with the see-through back. I just love being able to see all those tiny gears and mechanisms working away inside. It’s like having a mini engineering marvel right there on your wrist. It is a big decision, you know? These things aren’t exactly cheap, even when they’re replicas. Anyway, I finally took the plunge and got one. Here’s how it went.
First off, finding a trustworthy place to buy it was a real pain. I looked at this, there are tons of online stores and specialty shops, some even called “official flagship,” selling these things. Some of them have the words “Exclusively” and “Affordable Classic” as clickbait. But reading reviews, I found many of these shops and stores are not trustworthy. Finally, I found one place that seemed legit, or at least that’s what I thought at the time, based on some reviews I’d read. These reviews were about the Speedmaster 38, and they sounded pretty convincing.
I spent hours comparing different versions. The one that really caught my eye was the one with the open case back. I went for a model that’s supposed to be like the 2021 version. They had a brand-new one and a slightly used one. After debating for ages, I decided on the slightly used one. Figured I could save a few bucks, and it’s not like it was going to be all banged up or anything.
When the package finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. Ripped that box open and there it was. My first impression? This thing feels solid. Really well-built. The open back was everything I’d hoped for. All those little parts moving in sync, it’s mesmerizing. I must have spent a good hour just staring at it. It’s like a tiny little machine.
Putting it on for the first time was pretty exciting, too. It has a good weight to it, feels substantial but not too heavy. I got the size just right, and it looks great, if I do say so myself.
So, if you’re thinking about getting one of these CopyOMEGA Speedmasters with the open case back, I’d say go for it. Just make sure you do your homework first. Find a seller you can trust. Decide if you want new or used. And be prepared to be amazed by the intricate workings of the movement. It’s seriously cool.
- Find a seller
- Decide if new or used
- Try it on your wrist
It’s a big decision, but in my book, it’s totally worth it.
