Well, I finally pulled the trigger and got myself a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm. It’s been on my mind for a while now, and I figured it was time to treat myself. You know how it is, you see something shiny and you just gotta have it.
So, I started doing some digging around, checking out different forums, reading reviews, all that jazz. I found it’s like buying your first car. And I wanted to make sure I was getting a good deal and not some lemon. I mean, we’re not talking about pocket change here, right?
First thing I noticed is the size. This one’s 38mm, which I thought might be too small, but it fits just right on my wrist. Even the big ones they say fit well. I tried on a few different Speedmasters, and this one felt the most comfortable. Not too bulky, not too dainty, just right.
Then, I started looking at the details. I learned about the whole screw-down crown thing. You gotta unscrew it to set the time and wind it up. This ain’t a big deal, just something I didn’t know before. And the numbers on the dial, they’re all lined up perfectly. Everything’s clear as a bell, not like some of those cheap knock-offs where the numbers are all wonky.
I also heard about this new “Master Co-Axial 3861 caliber” thing they just came out with. No idea what that means, but it sounds fancy. Maybe it makes the watch run smoother or something. I’ll have to look into that later.
- Look at the Size: 38mm felt just right for me. Not too small, not too big.
- Screw-down Crown: Remember to unscrew it before you can adjust anything.
- Check the Details: Make sure everything’s lined up nice and neat.
I started to check it carefully. Hours, minutes, small seconds, date and chronograph all worked well. This one also measures 14.7mm in thickness and 44.8mm from lug-to-lug. I guess it will be a little bit heavy but acceptable.
Getting it Home
Finally, I pulled the trigger and ordered it. When the package arrived, it felt like Christmas morning. I tore into it like a kid opening a present. There it was, all shiny and new. I strapped it on my wrist, and it felt great. It’s got some weight to it, but not too much. Just enough to let you know it’s there.
So, was it worth it? I think so. It’s a good-looking watch, and it feels solid. I don’t see many differences from the original one. I know it’s gonna last me a long time. Plus, it’s a Speedmaster. It’s a classic. Kind of like a timeless thing they said.
Now, I’m not saying everyone should go out and buy one of these. They ain’t cheap. But if you’re looking for a good watch and you’ve got the cash, I’d say go for it. You won’t regret it.
Anyway, that’s my story about getting my CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm. Hope you enjoyed it. Maybe I’ll do another one of these when I get my next watch. Who knows what that will be? Stay tuned!
