Hey everyone, it’s your boy back at it again. Today, I wanna share my little adventure on snagging a copy of the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the sapphire crystal – you know, the “Sapphire Sandwich.” It’s a beauty, and I’ve been eyeing it for a while.
First off, I started where everyone starts these days – the internet. I was digging through forums, checking out what people were saying about it, and trying to figure out the best place to buy one. I saw that the prices for these watches start at around 5, which seemed pretty reasonable for such an iconic piece. I mean, this is the watch that went to the moon, guys!
- Scouring the Web: I spent hours browsing through different websites. One thing I noticed is that this watch really holds its value. Some of the vintage and limited edition models were going for crazy prices, and I even read about a 1957 OMEGA Speedmaster that sold for $3.4 million! Insane, right?
- Checking Out Deals: I found some listings for new ones. And I saw some used ones as well, but I was a bit careful about those. You never really know what you’re gonna get.
- Narrowing Down: After all that searching, I finally found a listing for a brand new one, and it was a pretty good deal. It was listed as “Only 1 left!” so I knew I had to act fast.
So, I reached out to the seller, asked a bunch of questions – you know, just to make sure everything was legit. I wanted to know the history, why they were selling it, and all that jazz. They were pretty cool and answered everything, which made me feel a lot better about the whole thing.
Once I was sure, I pulled the trigger. I wired the money, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but hey, you gotta risk it for the biscuit, right? After a few days of anxiously waiting, it finally arrived.
Unboxing it was like Christmas morning. The watch was even more stunning in person. The sapphire crystal gives it this awesome clear view of the dial, and the see-through case back lets you see all the intricate little gears and mechanisms working inside. It’s a true masterpiece of engineering. I couldn’t resist, and I put it on my wrist and snapped some pictures right away and shared them with my friends.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, it’s an amazing feeling to have a piece of history on your wrist. It’s not just a watch; it’s a conversation starter. And honestly, it makes me feel a bit like an astronaut, even though the closest I’ll ever get to space is probably watching a rocket launch on TV.
So, that’s my story of how I got my hands on a copy of the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Sapphire Sandwich. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it! Just do your research, find a good deal, and enjoy the ride.
