So, I’ve been thinkin’ about gettin’ one of them fancy watches, right? Heard a lot about this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope from the official flagship store. Figured I’d give it a go and see what all the fuss is about.
First off, I went and checked out this watch, looked around the place, trying to get a feel for it. They told me this watch is kinda like the ones those astronaut fellas wore to the moon. Seemed pretty cool, but I dunno, I ain’t no astronaut.
Then, I tried to figure out if this thing was the real deal or not. I looked at the little dials, they call them subdials, I think. The spacing and all that. They were all lined up nice and neat, just like they’re supposed to be, I guess. The bezel, that ring around the watch face, it had these markings, looked sharp, not all messy like some cheap watches.
Tryin’ it On
- I put the watch on my wrist. It’s a bit big, 43mm they said. But it fit alright, wasn’t too heavy or nothin’.
- The guy at the store told me it’s 48mm lug-to-lug, and 12.8mm thick, whatever that means. I just know it sat comfortably on my wrist.
- They say this Speedmaster Reduced thing was stopped being made in 2009, but they still got smaller ones, like the Speedmaster Racing and Speedmaster 38.
This CopyOMEGA, it’s trying to be like those fancy 1940s watches, I heard. For telling time really precisely, they said. Well, my old watch did that just fine, but this one, it does look kinda nice, I gotta admit.
I saw a bunch of different types of this watch, Some were like that Moonwatch they talk about, and others were special, limited editions. Heard some folks say these things are a good investment, that they’re worth more money later on. I ain’t no expert on that, but it’s somethin’ to think about.
They got these fancy ones for the Paris 2024, called Two Counters Chronoscope or somethin’. They look alright, I guess. Shiny and new, all that stuff.
Thinkin’ it Over
Now, they say this watch is expensive. And yeah, it kinda is. Took ’em six years to make this thing, they told me. But it’s like an old buddy, always there, always workin’. That’s gotta be worth somethin’, right?
I’ve seen a lot of watches, cheap ones, fancy ones. This CopyOMEGA, it’s somewhere in the middle, I reckon. It’s got that Speedmaster name, which means somethin’ to some folks. And this Chronoscope thing, it’s like always checkin’ to make sure everything is alright, just like you lockin’ your door at night.
So, I’m still thinkin’ about it. It’s a good watch, even if you ain’t goin’ to the moon. It looks good, feels good. Might just be worth it, even if it is a copycat of those real fancy ones. We’ll see. I guess I gotta sleep on it a bit more.
