This here watch, they call it the OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, yeah, that’s a mouthful, ain’t it? Seen some folks talkin’ ’bout it, sayin’ it’s somethin’ special. I reckon it is, ’cause it sure got a lot of folks goin’ on about it.
Now, some of these old watches, the Speedmaster ones, they’re like gold these days. If you got one, hold onto it. They say the price just keeps going up, up, up! Like a weed in the garden, you can’t keep it down. Better than money in the mattress. Hold on to them and watch the value grow. These Speedmaster Moonwatch are very hot now.
- If the little dials ain’t spaced right.
- If the numbers on the edge, they call it a “tachymeter,” look wonky.
- If the whole thing feels cheap, like it’s gonna fall apart.
Those are the signs, they say, of a fake one. And you sure don’t want no fake, do ya? Gotta make sure that tachymeter is sharp, whatever that means. And lined up just right. And the whole thing, the watch, the band, it all gotta feel good, solid like. No cheap stuff. The OMEGA Speedmaster Professional is good quality.
This “Pro” one, they say it’s like the original Moonwatch. A bit bigger, too. The other ones, they’re different, I guess. They got their own way of doin’ things. I don’t know too much about that. This Pro is like the original one, that went to the moon, big one. Others are different.
And the back, oh, the back of this watch! Some of them, they got a fancy back. Like a window, you can see all the little gears and things movin’ around. They call it a “transparent case back”. Like lookin’ into a beehive. They switched to a single angle thing for the back. It is fancy. Don’t need it, but it is fancy. They call this one Speedmaster Professional, with that fancy back.
Some folks say this watch, this Speedy, it deserves that see-through back. Some like it, some don’t. There’s somethin’ called “hesalite crystal” that some folks like, but they don’t put it with the see-through back no more. I don’t know why, they just don’t. Maybe they changed it, they do that sometimes, you know. They used to, but they don’t now. Don’t know why they stopped.
Got a new one in the mail, they say, a new Speedy Pro. And it says “Professional Moonwatch” right on the back. I guess that’s what it is, then. People talk about it for years. Moonwatch, a good watch. People like to talk about it on the internet.
Some folks, they get this Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch and they want to change the back, put a clear one on. I heard of a place, Custom Watch Concepts, that makes them. They say good things about ’em. I don’t know, seems like a lot of work to me. But if you want a clear back, there you go. This Speedmaster Moonwatch, it can be changed, if you want.
If you get one of these OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch with that see-through back, you can see the insides. They call it the “manual movement.” Like watchin’ ants in an ant farm. Lots of little pieces movin’ around. Fancy stuff. You can see all the moving parts if you get the one with the clear back. The OMEGA Speedmaster has this, it is special.
Even the plain back, on the Speedmaster Professional, it’s nice. Simple, but nice. Like a good, plain biscuit. Nothin’ fancy, but it does the job. Good and solid. This Speedmaster Professional, it is simple, but good. This watch is good.
Some folks don’t trust them fancy websites. They want to hear from real people who own these watches. The OMEGA Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional. Honest reviews, that’s what they’re after. Makes sense. You want to know if somethin’s good, ask someone who’s got one. You want to know if this Moonwatch is good, ask someone who has one, not a website.
This OMEGA Speedmaster, it’s a good watch. This is just what I heard. I think it is a good watch. If you have money, you can buy one. If you want to see the inside, you need the one with the clear back.
