So, I finally did it. I got myself one of those CopyOMEGA Speedmaster 38mm watches. Yeah, the ones they say have a bit of that moon landing history in ’em, but smaller. Not too big, not too small, just right, you know?
First off, I started digging around online, just to see where I could even get one of these. Lots of places popped up, but I was lookin’ for somewhere that felt legit, not some back-alley deal. I wanted the real deal, or as close as you can get with a CopyOMEGA, right?
I read a bunch of stuff about these watches. Seems like they’re good for folks who like that classic look but also want something a bit more modern. They call it “timeless style” and all that jazz. I just wanted a watch that looked good and wouldn’t fall apart after a few months.
The Hunt Begins
I started hitting up some forums, asking around where the best place to snag one of these was. Got a few mixed answers, but a couple of places kept coming up. One was some online dealer, seemed okay, but I wasn’t totally convinced. The other was a local shop, a bit of a drive, but I figured it was worth checking out in person. I called the shop, made sure they actually had the Speedmaster 38mm in stock, and then I drove out there.
- Checked out a bunch of websites.
- Read some reviews, forum posts.
- Called up a local shop.
- Drove out to see the watch in person.
Seeing It in Person
Walking into the shop, I went straight for the CopyOMEGA section. There it was, the Speedmaster 38mm, looking all shiny and new. I asked to see it, and the guy behind the counter, real friendly fella, he let me try it on. Felt good on my wrist, not too heavy, not too light. It is 38mm, so it looked good.
I played around with the little buttons on the side, the chronograph, you know. Seemed to work fine. The guy told me it’s got that automatic movement, so I don’t need to wind it up all the time, which is a plus. They say that the automatic is not the original one. But I think is good enough.
Making the Decision
Now, these things ain’t cheap. I mean, it’s a CopyOMEGA, so you know it’s gonna cost ya. But I had saved up a bit, and I figured, treat yourself, right? It’s a big purchase, but I felt like this watch was worth it. It’s got that history, that look, and it felt solid.
So, after thinking it over for a bit, I told the guy I’d take it. He boxed it up all nice, gave me all the paperwork, and that was that. I walked out of there with a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster 38mm on my wrist.
Living with the Speedmaster
Been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m happy with it. It’s a good conversation starter, people notice it. And it keeps time just fine, which is, you know, the main thing a watch is supposed to do. They said it is “especially appealing to those with a passion for the Speedmaster’s legacy but crave something more versatile than the conventional Moonwatch”. I think it is right.
If you’re thinking about getting one of these, I’d say go for it, but do your homework first. Make sure you’re buying from somewhere reputable, and try it on if you can. It’s a chunk of change, but in my book, it’s worth it for a watch like this. After all, as they say, it is a fine choice for those who appreciate the harmony of timeless style and cutting-edge features. It is a good one for me. So that’s my story about my CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm. I hope it can help you if you want to get one.
