Okay, so, I wanted to get one of those OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches. You know, the one they call the “Moonwatch”? Sounds kinda funny, but okay. Anyway, I ain’t got the money for a real one, so I started lookin’ for a copy. And not just any copy, mind you, but the one with the transparent case back.
Why the transparent case back, you ask? Well, I just think it’s cool to see all the little gears and stuff movin’ around inside. It’s like a little mechanical city in there.
Finding the Right One
First thing I did was hit up the forums and ask around. I made sure to tell everyone I was lookin’ for the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the transparent back. I heard that the original model number is 311.30.42.30.01.006, but I’m not sure about the copy.
-
Asked around on forums for the best place to buy one.
-
Made sure to specify “transparent case back” in all my inquiries.
-
Noticed some folks talkin’ about a guy named Thomas Preik who makes sapphire case backs. Might be a backup plan.
Digging Deeper
I did some more diggin’ and found out that the original Moonwatch has a stainless steel back, but the one with the see-through back is different. Someone mentioned that the accuracy of the Speedmaster ain’t as good as a Rolex, but I don’t care about -2/+2 seconds a day. I just want a watch that looks good and works right.
-
Learned about the difference between the stainless steel back and transparent back versions.
-
Read some stuff about accuracy, but I realized it ain’t a big deal for me.
The Purchase
Finally, I found a seller who said they had exactly what I was looking for. I made double sure they knew I wanted the transparent case back version. After some back and forth, I pulled the trigger and bought the watch.
-
Found a seller with the right copy.
-
Emphasized the transparent back to avoid any mix-ups.
-
Made the purchase!
Waiting Game and Arrival
Now came the hard part – waiting. It felt like forever, but finally, the watch arrived. I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, my CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the transparent case back.
-
The waiting was tough, but it finally got here.
-
Unboxed it and checked that it’s exactly what I ordered.
It looked great! Just like the pictures online. I wound it up, and it started tickin’. I spent the next hour just staring at the back, watchin’ all the little parts move. Success!
I even saw some forum posts about how to clean it, which might come in handy later. For now, I’m just gonna enjoy my new watch. It’s not the real deal, but it’s close enough for me, and I’m happy with it.
