Okay, let’s talk about getting that sweet, sweet Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with the see-through back. You know, the one where you can actually watch the little gears and springs doing their thing?
So, first, I started by doing a ton of window shopping. I mean, who doesn’t love looking at shiny watches? I checked out a bunch of pictures online, read some reviews, and basically just drooled over this watch for a good while.
Then I decided it was time to get serious. I figured I’d better see this thing in person, so I hit up a few local watch shops. It’s one thing to look at a picture, but it’s a whole other ballgame to actually hold it in your hand and see it on your wrist. I tried it on, and man, it felt amazing. The weight, the finish, everything just felt right.
Making the Leap
After that, I started seriously considering my options. New, used, grey market… there are a lot of ways to get your hands on one of these. I weighed the pros and cons of each, and finally pulled the trigger on a used one from a reputable seller I found after some digging.
- Waited for the delivery. This was the hardest part! Every day felt like a week.
- Got the watch! Unboxed it like a kid on Christmas morning.
- Inspected it closely. It is as good as the seller described.
- Put it on my wrist. It is so beautiful!
Finally, I got it. That beautiful clear case back was staring right back at me. And let me tell you, it’s even cooler in person than in the pictures. You can see all the intricate little parts working together, it’s just mesmerizing. Now, I am wearing it to work, to dinner, and even just around the house. It’s a pretty special feeling, knowing all the history and craftsmanship that went into this thing.
So yeah, that’s my story of getting my Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch with the transparent back. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it in the end. If you’re thinking about getting one, my advice is to do your research, try it on, and then go for it! You won’t regret it.
