Alright, let me tell you about my little adventure with the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the transparent case back. I’ve always been a bit of a watch guy, not a super serious collector, but I appreciate a good timepiece. And the Speedmaster, well, it’s iconic, right? The whole “first watch on the moon” thing is just too cool to pass up.
So, I finally pulled the trigger. I spent a few days researching. First, I found their official website, and I browsed their website for a long time. After that, I went to the OMEGA official flagship store near my house, it is very big and has a wide variety of watches, and the clerk is also very professional. After some back-and-forth with the seller, I decided to get the one with the see-through back, mainly because I’m a sucker for seeing all those tiny gears and things moving around.
The day I picked it up was exciting. They handed me this massive box. Seriously, it’s huge! Like, you could probably fit a small dog in there, not that I’d recommend it. Opening it up was an experience in itself. There are layers and layers of packaging. It felt like those Russian nesting dolls, but way fancier. Inside, of course, was the watch, nestled all safe and snug.
- The watch itself is a beauty.
- It’s got that classic Speedmaster look, with the black dial and those white hands.
- It’s not too big, not too small, just the right size for my wrist.
- And the transparent back, oh man, it’s mesmerizing.
I spent a good hour just staring at the movement, watching all the little parts work together. It’s like a tiny, intricate city in there.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I’m loving it. It’s comfortable, it looks great, and it’s a real conversation starter. People notice it, and they always ask about it. I’ve even had a few fellow watch nerds recognize it and give me that knowing nod of approval. One time I met a guy in the elevator who has the same watch and we talked for a long time. He recommended me a nice watch store, and I might go there sometime.
Putting it on my wrist every morning feels pretty good. It’s not just a watch, it’s a little piece of history. And yeah, it’s a bit of a splurge, but for me, it’s worth it. I plan to wear this watch for many years to come. I think it was the right decision. I like this watch a lot.
It’s a solid choice.
If you’re thinking about getting one, I’d say go for it. Just be prepared for the big box experience. It’s definitely something you won’t forget.
