Alright, guys, so let me tell you about this little adventure I had recently. It all started because I really wanted to get my hands on a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the open case back. I mean, who wouldn’t? It’s a beauty, right?
So, I started digging around, you know, doing my research. Reading articles, comparing prices, the whole nine yards. I knew I wanted the open back version, ’cause you gotta see that movement, it’s part of the magic. The articles I found kept mentioning specialty stores and the Cal.3861 movement, which, of course, only made me want it more.
I looked everywhere, and trust me, it wasn’t a walk in the park. I finally decided that I’d hit up a few specialty stores. The first few I went to didn’t have the exact model I wanted. But I wasn’t giving up that easily. And you know what, persistence pays off, folks. Finally, I walked into this one store, and there it was. Shining under the lights, the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the open case back. Man, it was even more stunning in person.
It was a tough call between the brand new one and this slightly used one. I decided to go with the used one. The used one is from 2021, so it’s not too old, and the price was a little better.
I talked to the guy at the store, asked a bunch of questions, you know, just to be sure. He was super helpful, answered everything, and even let me take my time to check it out. Made me feel way more comfortable about the whole thing. We talked about the 3861 original order and how it’s a big deal for watch nerds like me. He even showed me how to verify its authenticity, which was a huge plus.
After hemming and hawing for a bit, I finally pulled the trigger. Bought the darn thing. And let me tell you, I haven’t regretted it for a second. It’s been on my wrist almost non-stop since I got it.
Here are some tips from what I learned:
- Do your research: Know what you want and what to look for.
- Go to specialty stores: They usually have knowledgeable staff and a good selection.
- Don’t be afraid to ask questions: It’s your money, make sure you’re happy with your purchase.
- Consider going for a slightly used one: It was the best option for me.
So, yeah, that’s my story about getting my hands on the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the open case back. Hope this helps anyone out there looking to do the same.
