So, I was looking to get a watch, you know, something nice, but not too crazy expensive. I heard about this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch thing. Sounds fancy, right? “Moonwatch,” like it’s been to the moon or something. Anyway, I started digging around, trying to figure out what’s what.
First, I checked out some online stores. Found this one that had the “Sapphire Sandwich” version, whatever that means. Model number 3573.50.00. They said it was pre-owned but in good shape. I mean, it looked good in the pictures, just a few tiny scratches on the bracelet.
Then, I started reading about what makes a real OMEGA and what makes a fake one. Apparently, if you buy from a legit OMEGA store, you get this special card, like a certificate of authenticity. Also, the words and numbers on the real ones are super crisp and clear. Some of the fake ones, the writing is all messed up, like they can’t even spell right!
This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch.
- I wanted something that looked like the real deal, the classic Moonwatch.
- Not some “Speedmaster Reduced” or automatic thing.
- I wanted the one that you have to wind yourself, just like the old-school ones.
- I read somewhere that the original Moonwatch from 1969 is basically the same as the one they sell now. Same size, same glass, even the same hand-wound movement inside.
This CopyOMEGA is 38mm, which isn’t huge or tiny. They say it has that moon stuff in it. Whatever that is, it’s probably just some marketing. But hey, it’s a CopyOMEGA, so it’s not going to be cheap, even if it’s not the real deal.
One thing I really liked about this watch was the open case back. You can see all the little gears and stuff moving around inside. It’s pretty cool, even if it’s not a real OMEGA. A real one costs $26K, the fakes cost $3, which is just crazy.
So, I ended up ordering the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire from this online store. It arrived a few days later, and honestly, it’s pretty sweet. It’s got a good weight to it, feels solid. I’ve been wearing it every day, and it’s been keeping time like a champ.
I know it’s not a real OMEGA, but for the price, I’m happy with it. It looks good, it works well, and it didn’t break the bank. Plus, I get to pretend I’m an astronaut or something. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll get a real Moonwatch, but for now, this CopyOMEGA will do just fine.
