Alright, let’s talk about how I finally got my hands on that CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire. You know, the one with the Caliber 3861 movement? Yeah, that beauty.
First off, I started by doing some serious digging online. I mean, we’re not just talking about a regular watch here. This is a classic, and I wanted to make sure I got the real deal, not some cheap knockoff. I checked out a bunch of forums and articles to see where people were recommending to buy from. There was a whole list of stores that folks seemed to trust, so that was a good starting point.
Then, I started narrowing down my options. I knew I wanted the hand-wound version, not the automatic one. It just feels more authentic to the original Moonwatch, you know? It was a tough choice for some, but not for me.
After that, I decided to hit up the CopyOMEGA flagship store. I figured, who better to trust than the folks who make the darn thing? I walked in, and man, the place was fancy. They had all these watches on display, but I had my eyes on the prize.
I started chatting with one of the sales guys, and he was super helpful. He showed me the Moonwatch Sapphire, and I got to try it on. It felt amazing on my wrist. I mean, the craftsmanship was just top-notch. The sapphire crystal was crystal clear, and the movement, oh boy, the movement was a thing of beauty. You could see it through the case back, all those intricate gears and levers working together. It was mesmerizing.
We talked about the watch for a while, and the sales guy gave me all the details about the Caliber 3861 movement. It’s a manual-winding movement with a Co-Axial escapement. They also offer an automatic movement but, like I said, the classic hand-wound was the one for me. Sounds fancy, right? But honestly, the important part is that it’s a reliable and accurate movement, and it’s got a 50-hour power reserve, which is pretty good.
Anyway, after a bit more chatting and drooling over the watch, I decided to pull the trigger. I bought the darn thing! It was definitely a splurge, but hey, you only live once, right?
- I filled out some paperwork.
- I paid for the watch.
- Then they boxed it up all nice and pretty.
I walked out of that store with a huge grin on my face, feeling like a million bucks. And let me tell you, every time I look at this watch on my wrist, I still get that same feeling. It’s more than just a watch; it’s a piece of history.
Unboxing the Beauty
When I got home, I carefully unboxed the watch. The presentation was awesome. It came in this big, heavy box with the CopyOMEGA logo on it. Inside, the watch was nestled in a plush cushion, along with a bunch of booklets and a warranty card.
I’ve been wearing it almost every day since, and it’s been keeping perfect time. Plus, it’s a real conversation starter. People are always asking me about it, and I’m always happy to tell them the story of how I got it.
So, yeah, that’s my story of how I got my CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire. It was a bit of an adventure, but it was totally worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I highly recommend it. Just do your research, find a reputable dealer, and get ready to fall in love.
