I had been eyeing the OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm for a while now. I mean, I heard all the buzz about this watch. Some folks say it’s got a high resale value, and others just love the classic style. So, I decided to jump in and see what the fuss was all about.
First things first, I needed to find one. I’ve heard that these Speedmasters, especially the 38mm ones, are pretty popular. I started digging around, reading posts from people who had tried them on. Some pictures online really caught my eye, and that’s what pushed me over the edge. I wanted one of my own.
Now, getting my hands on one wasn’t exactly a walk in the park. I looked everywhere, trying to figure out if I was going to end up with a fake or the real deal. It’s a bit of a jungle out there! After some serious searching, I finally found a place that seemed legit, a place that specializes in selling and trading these kinds of watches. I made sure to do my homework, checking them out thoroughly before making any moves.
Once I got the watch, the first thing I noticed was the size. It’s 38mm, which is not too big, not too small—just right, like some people said online. It’s got a nice weight to it, feels solid. The thickness is about 14.7mm, and it measures 44.8mm from lug to lug. It fit my wrist perfectly, which was a relief. I heard it’s a good size for folks with smaller wrists, and I can confirm that.
The watch itself is a beauty. It’s got that classic Speedmaster look, with the tachymeter and everything. I learned that it’s powered by the OMEGA Calibre 3330, a self-winding automatic movement. Sounds fancy, right? It also has this thing called a Co-Axial escapement, which I guess is some high-tech feature that makes it run better. I was told that this model comes in different materials like stainless steel and gold. Mine’s stainless steel, and it looks sharp.
I started playing around with the features. It’s got a stopwatch, which is pretty neat. I found out it can store up to 50 laps. I messed around with the alarm too—you can customize it, which is handy. I was surprised it was a lot like other watches but with more class if that makes sense?
Wearing it around, I felt like a million bucks. It’s one of those watches that just makes you feel good. Plus, knowing that it holds its value well is a nice bonus. I mean, who doesn’t like a good investment, right?
All in all, getting this OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm was a bit of an adventure. But it was totally worth it. It’s a classic piece that’s not just about telling time, it is also a really good watch that looks and feels great on my wrist.
