Alright, let’s talk about this whole CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Super Racing watch thing. I’ve been seeing these watches everywhere lately, and I decided to dive in headfirst. It’s a wild world, I tell ya.
First off, I started digging around for info. I mean, who just buys a fancy watch without knowing what they’re getting into, right? I learned that there’s a whole bunch of these Speedmaster watches. There’s the one that went to the moon, ones made for racing, and just regular ones for everyday wear. It’s a lot to take in. I browsed through a lot of information about them, and then found some key points. Then I decided to go on.
So, I focused on this Super Racing model. I read somewhere that it’s new and supposedly all high-tech. But you know how it is with these things – sometimes it’s all just marketing hype. I kept an open mind, though. I checked the official OMEGA site for the First OMEGA in Space Steel watch (Ref. 310.30.40.50.06.001) but ended up getting more confused with all the different models and numbers. It is a whole research!
The Specialty Stores Experience
Then, I thought, “Why not go see these watches in person?” So, I visited a couple of these so-called specialty stores. And let me tell you, it’s an experience. The salespeople are all dressed up, talking about the watches like they’re some kind of holy grail. And the prices? Don’t even get me started. There is also an old model of Speedmaster, I noticed, it seems discontinued in 2018. They said it is 40mm and very well-sized, I guess that is the selling point.
- I tried on a few of the watches, just to see how they feel.
- They’re definitely nice, I’ll give them that.
- But are they worth the crazy price tags? I’m still not sure.
The 38mm Dilemma
And then there’s this whole thing about the 38mm versions. I heard someone call it the “original order” or something. They’re smaller, I guess, and some people seem to really like them. I tried one on, and it’s okay. I mean, it’s a watch. It tells the time. But I don’t know if I’m sold on the whole “smaller is better” thing. I heard that they are seen as excellent investments, maybe that is the reason.
Spotting the Fakes
Here’s the thing that really got me: the fakes. I stumbled upon some articles about how to spot fake CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster watches. Apparently, it’s a big problem. And honestly, after seeing some of these fakes, I can see why. They look pretty darn convincing. But be careful of the scams, I learned some tips to avoid being fooled.
So, after all this, what’s my conclusion? Well, I’m still not sure if I’m going to buy one of these CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Super Racing watches. They’re cool and all, but they’re also a huge investment. And with all the fakes out there, it’s kind of a minefield. I think I need to sleep on it for a while longer. Maybe I’ll hit up a few more stores, do some more research. Or maybe I’ll just stick with my trusty old watch. Who knows? And I learned that a 1957 OMEGA Speedmaster Ref. 2915-1 was sold for $3.4 million, a crazy price. That is a historic moment. It’s a wild world, this watch-collecting thing.
