So, I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch for a while now, the one with the open case back. You know, the iconic “moonwatch” that those astronaut guys wore during the Apollo 11 mission? Yeah, that one. It’s not just a watch, it’s like a piece of history you can wear on your wrist.
First off, I started digging around to see if this thing was even worth the investment. Turns out, these Speedmaster watches usually hold their value pretty well. Especially the older models and the limited edition ones, those are like gold. Not because they’re made of gold, but you get the idea. They’re valuable.
Then, I started reading up on the watch itself. I mean, this is the actual watch that went to the moon! How cool is that? It’s got this whole legendary status, and every time I looked at it, I could almost hear those famous words, “One small step for man…”
I spent days, maybe even weeks, just obsessing over this watch. I went to different stores, tried it on, felt the weight of it on my wrist. It was heavier than I expected, but in a good way. It felt solid, substantial, like it could survive anything, even a trip to the moon! I also tried on other watches. I tried watches from other brands, but they felt, I don’t know, they felt empty, hollow, like they weren’t even trying.
The open case back was a big deal for me. Being able to see the inner workings of the watch, all those tiny gears and springs moving in perfect harmony, it’s just mesmerizing. It’s like having a little mechanical city on your wrist.
After all that, I finally pulled the trigger. I bought the watch. And let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Wearing this watch every day, it’s not just about telling time. It’s about having a connection to something bigger, something historical. It’s a conversation starter, a statement piece, and a reminder of human achievement.
And you know what? Every time I look at it, I get this little thrill. It’s like a little piece of the moon is right there on my wrist. It’s pretty awesome.
