Alright, let’s talk about my recent experience getting my hands on an OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the Sapphire crystal. You know, the one you’ve probably seen all over the internet, the “official flagship store” kind.
So, I’ve been eyeing this watch for a while now. It’s a classic, right? I mean, it’s the Moonwatch! I finally decided to pull the trigger, but I was a bit nervous. Lots of fakes out there, and I definitely didn’t want to get ripped off.
Starting the Hunt
First things first, I wanted to make sure I was buying from a legit place. I mean, spending this much money, you gotta be careful. The OMEGA website, I know that is safe. But I also did some digging online and found that only OMEGA Boutiques or authorized retailers are the safe way. I have to say, you can buy directly from OMEGA’s online shop if they offer that in your country. That’s pretty cool and convenient.
Then it was time to choose which Moonwatch I wanted. They’ve got a few different versions, but the one I had my heart set on was the one with the sapphire crystal. It’s a bit more scratch-resistant than the Hesalite one, and I’m clumsy, so that’s important. I’m going to choose the one with stamped caseback and that classic seahorse on the back.
Making the Purchase
Once I found an OMEGA Boutique near me, I paid them a visit. Walking in there, it’s a whole experience. They’ve got all the watches displayed beautifully, and the staff are super knowledgeable. After talking to one of the sales reps for a bit, I knew I was making the right decision and they are all very professional.
Finally, I decided to make the purchase. They brought out the watch, and man, it was even more stunning in person. Holding it in my hands, I could feel the quality. They showed me how to wind it (it’s a manual-wind, which is part of the charm), and explained the warranty and everything. This is important as a watch is not only a timer but also an investment.
Living with the Moonwatch
I’ve been wearing the Moonwatch for a few weeks now, and I’m loving it. It’s such a cool piece of history to have on your wrist. Plus, it looks great with everything. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on it, too. And winding it every morning has become a nice little ritual.
Overall, I’m super happy with my purchase. It was definitely a splurge, but it’s something I’ll treasure for years to come. If you’re thinking about getting a Moonwatch, my advice is to do your research, buy from a reputable source, and just go for it. You won’t regret it!
Just remember: make sure you are clear with the version you are looking for, Hesalite or Sapphire glass. Both are really good to go.
