Alright, let’s talk about this watch. I decided to buy an Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with a sapphire crystal, and the whole thing was quite the journey. I started by just browsing online, you know, just looking at pictures and reading some reviews.
Then I dove deeper. I started comparing the sapphire version to the Hesalite. One big thing I noticed was that the sapphire model had some differences that were important to me. I read somewhere that the sapphire one was the way to go if you wanted something a bit more modern but still classic.
- Decisions, decisions: I spent weeks going back and forth. Should I go for the classic Hesalite or the more modern sapphire? It was a tough call.
- Finally pulled the trigger: After a lot of thinking, I went for the sapphire model (310.30.42.50.01.001). It just felt right.
Getting Down to Business
I finally made up my mind and went for it. I placed the order and waited. And waited. It felt like forever! But then, one day, it arrived.
Unboxing time! I carefully opened the box, and there it was. This beautiful Speedmaster Moonwatch. I immediately put it on and it fit perfectly. The steel bracelet felt solid, and the watch itself had a nice weight to it.
Living with the Speedmaster
I’ve been wearing this watch almost every day since I got it. It’s been through thick and thin with me. I’ve worn it to work, I’ve worn it out to dinner. It just goes with everything.
One thing I really appreciate is how it keeps its value. I know these watches, especially the vintage ones, are pretty sought after. It’s nice to know that I’ve got something that’s not just a watch but also a bit of an investment.
Overall, buying this Omega Speedmaster was a great decision. It wasn’t just about getting a new watch; it was about getting a piece of history that I can wear every day. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll pass it down to someone else, and they can enjoy it just as much as I have.
