Alright, so I’ve been messing around with this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope thing, the one they sell at those fancy watch stores. Let me tell you, it’s been quite the ride.
First off, I started digging around to find out more about this watch. I heard from some folks that these things can cost you an arm and a leg, like $4,000 on average. I ain’t made of money, so I was pretty careful about what I was getting into.
Then, I got my hands on one of these CopyOMEGA Speedmasters. It’s a “classic style” they call it, and it’s a “chronograph,” which means it does more than just tell the time. It’s got a bunch of dials and buttons, including this “tachymeter” thing for measuring speed. I played around with it, trying to figure out how all those little hands worked. It was kind of fun, like solving a little puzzle.
I also did some research online and checked for a “reference number” inside and also an eight-digit serial number in the movement. These are needed for checking the authenticity, it seems. I also tried to find the “Dot Over 90” on the bezel. After a while, I found it.
Then, I flipped the watch over and looked through the back. You can see all the little gears and springs moving around inside. They call it the “manual-winding OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9908.” Sounds fancy, but basically, it’s the guts of the watch that make it tick. I spent a good chunk of time just staring at it, it’s kind of mesmerizing.
I also wore the watch around for a while, just to see how it felt. It’s a bit bigger than what I’m used to, about 42 mm across, 47 mm lug-to-lug. But I got used to it after a while. And it’s a good conversation starter, let me tell you.
Finally, I decided to do a little experiment. I took the watch to one of those specialty stores and asked them about it. I wanted to see if they could tell it was a copy just by looking at it. The guy behind the counter looked it over real good, and he didn’t seem to notice anything off.
So, that’s my little adventure with the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Chronoscope. It’s been a fun project, and I’ve learned a lot about watches in the process.
- Started by researching the watch and its price.
- Got a CopyOMEGA Speedmaster and figured out its features.
- Looked at the movement through the back of the watch.
- Wore the watch around to see how it felt.
- Took the watch to a specialty store to see if they could spot it as a copy.
