Alright, so here’s the lowdown on how I went about snagging my OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the see-through back. It wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, but hey, what good story starts with “it was easy”?
First off, I spent ages just looking. Looking online, looking in stores, you name it. I wanted to see these beauties in person, get a feel for them on my wrist, you know? And let me tell you, pictures don’t do them justice. There’s something about the way the light hits that polished steel… but I’m getting ahead of myself.
After weeks of this, I narrowed it down to the Moonwatch. It just had that classic look, that history, that… something. I decided that I needed this watch to be part of my collection.
- Browsing and Comparing: I scoured the internet for prices and availability. Some places had waiting lists longer than my grocery list, and the prices were all over the place. And that’s where my head started spinning. See, with these watches, you’ve got pre-owned, you’ve got new, you’ve got limited editions… it’s a whole world.
- Setting a Budget: I set a budget, which, let’s be honest, I stretched a little. But hey, this is an investment, right? That’s what I told myself, anyway. I also decided that I don’t need the newest collection. The one that is a few years old is ok with me.
- Finding the Right Seller: Eventually, I found a seller that seemed legit. Talked to them, asked a bunch of questions. They were patient, answered everything, and even sent me some extra photos. Made me feel a bit more comfortable about dropping this kind of cash online.
Pulling the Trigger: Finally, I pulled the trigger. Wired the money and waited. Those were probably the longest few days of my life. I kept imagining all sorts of things going wrong. But then, it arrived.
The unboxing was an experience. It felt like Christmas, my birthday, and winning the lottery all rolled into one. And there it was, my Speedmaster. I strapped it on, and it was perfect. This timepiece is in fair condition, showing signs of wear on the case, case back, and bracelet. This one is obviously not a brand-new one but I decided to go with it because of my budget. I put it on my wrist and it felt amazing.
So, that’s my story. It was a journey, but it was worth it. Now, I’ve got this awesome watch, and I’ve got a good story to go with it. And you know what, it feels good on my wrist, not too bulky, just right.
