Alright, so I was on the hunt for a new watch, and I’ve always been a fan of the OMEGA Speedmaster. It’s got that classic look, you know? But I wanted something a little different, something that stood out. That’s when I stumbled upon the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch with a transparent case back. I thought, “Man, that’s cool! You can actually see the insides working.”
So, the journey began. I started searching for a good copy that would let me see the movement without breaking the bank. I heard that there aren’t many good replicas of the Speedmaster Moonwatch. The replicas have a lot of differences, one of them being the thickness.
I did some digging online, reading forums and reviews, trying to find the best place to get one. I saw some posts that said there aren’t any really good Speedmaster Moonwatch reps. They said the dials are usually off, and the watches are way thicker than the real deal, like 15+mm thick. That’s a big difference!
But I wasn’t giving up. I kept looking, checking out different online stores, I learned that some replica dealers have been doing this for a long time, so they probably know their stuff. But I also realized that it was going to be a challenge to find a really good replica. I came across a few that looked okay, but they still had some obvious flaws, especially with the thickness.
I finally found one that looked pretty decent. It wasn’t perfect, but it had the transparent case back I wanted, and the price was reasonable. The dial wasn’t an exact match, and it was thicker than the original, but for the price, I figured it was worth a shot.
After ordering and waiting anxiously for a couple of weeks, the watch finally arrived! I ripped open the package like a kid on Christmas morning. It looked even better in person than in the pictures. The transparent back was definitely the highlight. I could stare at those tiny gears and springs moving around for hours.
Here’s what I noticed after wearing it for a while:
- The watch is definitely thicker than the original Moonwatch, but it’s not super noticeable unless you’re really looking for it.
- The dial is pretty good, but there are some small differences if you compare it side-by-side with a genuine one. Again, not a deal-breaker for me.
- The movement is mesmerizing! It’s not as smooth as a real OMEGA movement, but it’s still cool to watch.
My Verdict
Overall, I’m happy with my purchase. It’s a cool-looking watch, and the transparent case back is a real conversation starter. Is it a perfect replica? No. But for the price, it’s a great way to get that Speedmaster look and enjoy the beauty of a mechanical movement without spending a fortune. If you’re thinking about getting one, just do your research, manage your expectations, and you might be pleasantly surprised!
