Alright, folks, gather ’round, let me tell you about my little adventure with the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the Sapphire one, you know, the “Sapphire Sandwich.” I’ve been eyeing this beauty for a while now.
So, first off, I did some digging. What’s the big deal with this watch? It’s a replica of the classic Moonwatch, the one that actually went to the moon with the Apollo 11 mission. This one, though, it’s got a see-through back. You can see all those little gears and springs working together. Kinda cool, right?
I started my hunt. Now, where do you find one of these? I hit up a few of those “specialty stores”. You know the type, the ones that deal in, uh, “replicas.” After checking out a few, I found one that looked pretty darn good.
Here’s what I did:
- Inspected the watch: I looked at it real close. The finish, the details, it all looked spot on. The size was just right, felt solid on my wrist.
- Checked the movement: This was the fun part. I flipped it over and watched the movement through the sapphire crystal back. It was mesmerizing. All those tiny parts moving in sync, just like the real deal.
- Tried it on: I put it on my wrist. Felt good, you know? Not too heavy, not too light. Just the right amount of heft to make it feel substantial.
- Compared it: I’ve seen a few real Speedmasters in my time. And honestly, this one held its own. Obviously, it’s not the genuine article, but for the price? It’s a solid copy.
Why This Watch?
Now, you might be wondering, why go for a copy? Well, for starters, the real deal is way out of my budget. But also, this watch, it’s got that classic style. It’s simple, it’s elegant, and it’s got that history behind it. Plus, this Sapphire Sandwich version, with the open back, it’s just neat to look at.
So, there you have it. My little journey to getting a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire. It’s a good-looking watch, it feels great on the wrist, and it lets me enjoy a piece of that Moonwatch legacy without breaking the bank. If you’re into watches and you’re looking for something with that classic vibe, and you don’t mind that it’s not the “original order,” give this one a look. You might just like it.
