Alright, so I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the sapphire crystal, for a while now. You know, the Caliber 3861 model. It’s a real beauty, and I finally decided to take the plunge and grab one for myself.
First off, I started digging around online. I was browsing through tons of websites, comparing prices and looking at different sellers. There were a bunch of deals out there, some claiming up to 90% off! Sounds too good to be true, right? I was pretty skeptical, but I kept looking. I saw a few that mentioned “unworn” and “new” 2024 models, so that got me interested.
I also noticed some talk about the Caliber 3861 movement. Apparently, it’s “Master Chronometer-certified” which means it’s super accurate, like only off by 0 to 5 seconds a day. And it can handle magnetic fields, shocks, and doesn’t need to be serviced as often as the older models. Plus, it’s got a longer power reserve. That’s a lot of good stuff packed into one watch. It seemed so reliable and I’m feeling good about it.
Next, I started looking at actual listings. There were a few with videos, which was cool. I could actually see the watch in action, how it looked on the wrist, and all that. I was getting pretty excited at this point. The price is quite high though. I was not so sure if I could pay for it.
- Browsing online for deals and comparisons.
- Reading up on the Caliber 3861 movement.
- Checking out listings with videos.
After a lot of back and forth, I finally found one that I liked. It was a new, unworn 2024 model, and the price was okay. It wasn’t 90% off or anything crazy like that, but it was a fair price for what I was getting. I also compared the prices with a few different sellers online to make sure that it was a reasonable price.
So, I pulled the trigger and bought it! The seller is quite responsive and answered all my questions patiently. The whole process was pretty smooth. Now, the waiting game begins. I’m constantly checking the tracking information, eagerly waiting for it to arrive.
The Waiting is the Hardest Part
It felt like forever, but finally, the day came. The package arrived, and I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, in all its glory. It was even better in person than in the pictures and videos. The sapphire crystal looks amazing, and the whole watch just feels solid and well-made.
I’ve been wearing it for a few days now, and I gotta say, I’m in love. It’s comfortable, it looks great, and it’s just a really cool watch. Plus, knowing all the history behind the Speedmaster and the Moonwatch just makes it even more special. I mean, this thing went to the moon! I also started posting about it on social media and a lot of my friends are also interested in it. This is going to be a lot of fun.
- Finally found a watch I liked and bought it.
- Waited (im)patiently for it to arrive.
- Received the watch and was thrilled with it.
So, yeah, that’s my story of getting the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. It was a bit of a journey, but it was totally worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it. You won’t regret it!
