Okay, so, I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the open case back, for a while now. It’s a beauty, no doubt. I finally decided, “Screw it, let’s do this.”
First, I hit up a few OMEGA boutiques. You know, just to see it in person, try it on, get the feel for it. Man, it’s even better in real life. The way the light hits the dial, the feel of the chronograph pushers…it’s something else. The staff were super cool, too. Very knowledgeable, not pushy at all. They let me admire it as long as I needed.
After visiting a couple of stores, comparing prices, and basically drooling over it for weeks, I pulled the trigger. I went back to the first boutique I visited because I had great service. I just felt a good vibe there, you know? Plus, they offered me a nice little gift with purchase.
The purchase process was smooth. I paid, they sized the bracelet for me right there, and I walked out with this gorgeous timepiece on my wrist. The unboxing was an experience. It felt like such a shame to open that nice wooden box. It was truly an experience, and it felt so special.
Since then, I’ve been wearing it almost every day. It’s such a versatile watch. You can dress it up, dress it down, it goes with everything. And it’s a conversation starter, for sure. People notice it, and they always have questions. I’ve always wanted a conversation starter watch, and this one for sure does the job!
Here’s what I’ve been loving about it:
- The look: It’s classic, timeless. It’ll never go out of style. The open case back is especially nice because I get to see the inner workings of the watch.
- The feel: It’s got a nice weight to it. It feels substantial, but not too heavy. It sits comfortably on the wrist.
- The history: Come on, it’s the Moonwatch! It’s got that whole NASA connection. How cool is that?
- The details: The finishing is impeccable. The way the hands catch the light, the subtle texture of the dial…it’s all just perfect.
It wasn’t a cheap purchase, obviously. But honestly, I have zero regrets. It’s a watch I plan on keeping forever, and maybe even passing down someday. It’s a statement on my wrist, and it matches my style perfectly. I love it!
