Alright, let’s talk about this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire, the one with the Cal.3861 movement. This is not just any watch, it is a piece that came from the original factory. You know, the real deal.
First off, I got my hands on this beauty and the first thing I did was flip it over. Why? Because I needed to check out the Reference Number inside the case-back. It’s like a secret code that tells you if it’s legit. And guess what? It was there, clear as day.
Then, I moved on to the movement. That’s where the magic happens. I found the eight-digit serial number. If you’re into watches, especially the vintage ones, you know how important this is. It’s like the watch’s fingerprint. You can’t fake that.
Here’s a breakdown of what I did:
- Checked the case-back: I looked for the Reference Number. It’s a must-do.
- Inspected the movement: Found that eight-digit serial number. It is the key.
Now, this Moonwatch, it’s a classic. It’s got that manual-wind movement, which is old school but in a good way. And the Hesalite crystal, that’s the same stuff they used back in the day when astronauts were walking on the moon. The black dial? Timeless. This design hasn’t really changed much over the years, and that’s what makes it so cool.
Buying and selling these watches, it’s a whole world. There are these online auction sites where you can find some real gems. But you gotta be careful, know what you’re looking for, and always check those numbers. You don’t want to end up with a fake, right?
So, that’s my story with the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire. It’s more than just a watch, it’s a piece of history. And having one that’s straight from the original order, that’s something special.
