Alright, so I got into this whole watch thing, right? Started simple, but then I heard about this OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm. Folks were saying it’s a good one, especially if you ain’t got giant wrists. I got curious, you know?
First, I did some digging. Read up on what makes these Speedmasters so special. Apparently, they’re pretty well-made. Swiss and all that. This one I’m looking at, it’s not huge. 38mm, which is kinda perfect. Not too flashy, just… right.
Then, I started looking around. Not just anywhere, mind you. Gotta be careful with these things. There are fakes, and I don’t want to get suckered. I found a guy, knows a guy who knows a guy, deals in these watches. Says he’s got an original order Speedmaster, reference 3310.10.00. Says it’s from the late ’80s or ’90s.
I went to check it out. Looked good. I mean, I’m no expert, but it felt solid. The markings on the bezel, they were all sharp and lined up nice. The case, the bracelet, everything felt quality. Not like those cheap knock-offs you see.
Now, I’m not 100% sure it’s real. This acquaintance of mine, he’s not sure either. But the price is good. Like, really good. It got me thinking, is this the real deal or what?
- Did some research on OMEGA Speedmasters.
- Heard this 38mm one is good for smaller wrists.
- Found a guy who deals in these watches.
- Checked out the watch, reference 3310.10.00.
- Looked solid, markings were sharp, felt quality.
- But still not 100% sure if it’s real.
- Price is really good, which makes me wonder…
I’ve been wanting an original Speedmaster for a while now. It is kind of a dream watch for me. I took a gamble, bought the watch. It looks great. I compared it to pictures online, and everything seems to line up. The spacing on the subdials, the tachymeter scale, it all looks right.
I wore it around, showed it off a bit. Got some compliments. Nobody questioned it. So, maybe I got lucky. Maybe I snagged a real OMEGA Speedmaster for a steal. Or maybe I got a really good fake. Honestly, I’m still not sure. But you know what? It looks good, it feels good, and I like it. That’s gotta count for something, right?
I’m keeping it. Real or not, it’s my Speedmaster now. And I’m gonna wear it with pride. It’s a reminder to take chances, do your homework, and sometimes, just go with your gut. It led me to this watch, and so far, no regrets.
So, that’s my story. Started with curiosity, did some digging, took a chance, and ended up with a watch I love. It ain’t always about knowing everything for sure. Sometimes, it’s about the journey, the experience, and enjoying what you got.
