Hey everyone, it’s your boy back at it again! Today’s little adventure? Getting my hands on a copy of the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the sapphire crystal. Yeah, the one that’s supposed to be all fancy and tough. Let me tell you, it was quite the journey.
So, it all started with me scrolling through some watch forums. You know how it is, you see a shiny new thing, and suddenly you need it. I’d been eyeing the Moonwatch for a while, and the sapphire version just looked so darn slick. I saw a few posts that said it’s available from the “Official flagship store”.
First thing I did was hit up good old Google. Typed in “OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire Official flagship store” and bam, a bunch of results popped up. I saw a result that says I can receive a 15% extra discount, which is awesome! I spent a good hour or two just browsing through the different listings, comparing prices, reading some very positive reviews. One review said it’s the “THE SPEEDMASTER MOONWATCH PROFESSIONAL. Loved on Earth and beyond”, man, that sounds so cool.
I finally found a store, well, not a physical store, but you know, an online one, that looked legit. They had all these high-quality pictures, detailed descriptions, and even some videos showcasing the watch. They claimed they’re the official flagship store, and everything seemed to check out. I know the original one is around 42mm and reference number is 311.30.42.30.01.006, so I paid extra attention to these details. The copy one looks just like the original, at least on screen.
But here’s where things got a bit tricky. I’m always a bit sketched out about buying expensive stuff online, especially when it’s a replica. So, I decided to do some more digging. I went back to the forums, checked out some Reddit threads, and even watched a few YouTube videos about spotting fake OMEGAs. One video I watched gave a pretty good rundown on the “METAS-certified Master Chronometer movement” which was super interesting. But the most obvious thing is the bracelet on the watch, it’s very different from the real one.
After feeling somewhat confident, I went back to the online store. Added the watch to my cart, put in my details, and held my breath as I clicked “buy now.” It felt like forever, but finally, I got a confirmation email. Phew! They even had a WhatsApp number and email address listed for customer support, which was reassuring.
Now came the waiting game. Every day I’d check my email like a hawk, hoping for a shipping update. Finally, after what felt like an eternity (but was probably just a week), I got the notification that it had shipped. The tracking number was provided, and I followed that package like it was my only mission in life.
Then, the day arrived. The package was at my doorstep. I ripped that thing open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the copy OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire, in all its glory. It looked amazing, felt solid, and had that satisfying heft to it.
My First Impressions
- Looks: Seriously, this thing is a beauty. The black dial, the white hands, the tachymeter bezel – it all just works together so well.
- Feel: It’s got a nice weight to it, feels substantial on the wrist. The bracelet is comfortable and seems well-made. It’s a bit different from the real one, but I don’t really mind.
- Crystal: That sapphire crystal is crystal clear (pun intended!). It’s supposed to be super scratch-resistant, which is a big plus.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I’m really digging it. It’s definitely a conversation starter, and I’ve gotten a few compliments on it already. Of course, it’s not the real deal, but for the price, I’m pretty happy with it.
So, there you have it, folks. My little adventure in getting a copy OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch. It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I’m glad I went for it. If you’re thinking about getting one, just do your research, make sure you’re buying from a reputable source, and be prepared for a bit of a wait. And remember, it’s all about enjoying the watch, whether it’s the real thing or not!
