Alright, so a few days back, I decided it was time to up my watch game. I’ve been eyeing those fancy Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatches for a while now. You know, the ones with the open case back that show off all the intricate workings inside? Yeah, those. So, I finally decided to bite the bullet and hunt one down.
First things first, I hit up the internet. Started browsing through online stores. I wasn’t quite ready to commit to buying one just yet, I just wanted to scope out the options and get a feel for the prices. During my search, I found that the watch is 39.7mm by 13.4mm and lug-to-lug is 48mm. That sounded pretty good to me.
I spent a good few hours scrolling through listings, reading descriptions, and comparing prices. Some folks online were talking about owning multiple Omegas, including the Speedmaster Reduced. One guy mentioned his Speedmaster Reduced had a sapphire crystal, which sounded pretty cool. I made a mental note to look into that later. There are so many different versions. I just wanted to get a basic one this time, and maybe someday I would buy a fancy one.
While browsing, I stumbled upon some weird technical jargon like “Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9920”. I’m not gonna lie, I had no idea what that meant. I’m not a watch expert, just a regular dude who appreciates a nice timepiece. I figured it must be something important about the watch’s movement, so I jotted it down to research later. It seemed cool though, driving or something like that.
I also noticed a lot of the listings mentioned “stainless steel case” and “19mm lug width”. I assume that’s standard for these Speedmaster watches. Gotta make sure any replacement straps I get are the right size, right? Maybe I should buy some extra straps.
After a while, my eyes started to glaze over from all the watch talk. But I did manage to narrow down my search to a few promising options. I even found a few stores that had the open case back version I was craving. It was tempting to just pull the trigger and buy one right then and there, but I decided to sleep on it.
The next day, I woke up still thinking about those Speedmasters. I spent my lunch break doing some more research, trying to decipher all the technical terms I’d encountered the day before. I even watched a video of a guy talking about all the new Speedmaster watches that came out this year. Something about Apollo 8, didn’t quite catch it, but they sure looked sleek.
Finally, after much deliberation, I decided to go for it. I picked out a reputable online store and placed my order. Now, it’s just a waiting game. I’m eagerly anticipating the arrival of my new Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. I can’t wait to finally strap it on my wrist and admire that beautiful open case back. It’s gonna be epic!
