Okay, so let’s talk about this watch I messed around with recently – the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire, with the Cal.3861 movement. I mean it’s a classic style, you know?
Get My Hands on the Watch
First off, I got my hands on this watch from one of those specialty stores. You know, the ones that deal with these kinds of, uh, “replicas.” It wasn’t easy to find, took some digging around, but eventually, I stumbled upon it.
Unbox and First Impressions
When I finally got it, the unboxing was pretty standard. No fancy frills or anything. The watch itself, though? Man, it looked good. It’s got that classic Moonwatch look, stainless steel, black dial – the whole nine yards. I even saw it had a black leather strap. I noticed that this is a 42mm size, pretty hefty on the wrist.
Inspect the Details
I started really looking at the details. The dial’s got those index markers, and the hands are pretty much spot on. I flipped it over and checked out the back. That’s where you can see the movement, the Cal.3861, through the sapphire crystal. It’s a manual winding chronograph, which is a nice touch. I noticed some writing on the back – “Ref: 1450122-67” and “Calibre 321”.
Wind and Test
So, I gave it a wind. It felt pretty smooth, not too much resistance. I set the time, no problem. Then, I played around with the chronograph functions. Started it, stopped it, reset it – everything seemed to be working fine. It’s not like I took it to the moon or anything, but for everyday use, it seemed solid.
Wear It Around
I wore this thing around for a few days. Got a few compliments, actually. Nobody seemed to notice it wasn’t the real deal. It felt good on the wrist, not too heavy, not too light. I mean the size is good, 42mm, easy to read.
Final Thoughts
Look, this CopyOMEGA Speedmaster, it’s a decent watch. It looks the part, it feels good, and it works. It even comes with box and papers, just like the real deal. If you’re into that classic Moonwatch style but don’t want to drop a ton of cash, this might be something to check out. Just remember where you’re getting it from, and you know, manage your expectations.
