Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with watches lately, and let me tell you, this whole CopyOMEGA Speedmaster thing, it’s something else. Started out just browsing, you know? Just looking at pictures online, reading some stuff.
First, I tried to find out what’s so special about these Speedmaster watches. They say it’s for “serious collectors.” Serious, huh? Guess I’m not serious, then! Found some info about a model called the “Chrono Chime.” Sounds fancy, right? Like it’s going to start playing music or something.
Then, I looked up how much one of these things costs. Holy smokes! These are not cheap. They talk about something called a “movement” inside. Makes it sound like it’s dancing in there. I saw another one, a “Moonphase,” with a picture of the moon that’s supposed to change with the real moon. Brand new, that one is gonna cost you an arm and a leg! I mean, seriously, they’re like, 67k! Who spends that kind of money on a watch?
So, naturally, I started thinking, maybe there’s a cheaper way. You know, like, not a real one. A fake one, I guess? I started searching for places that sell these, you know, “original order.” Whatever that means.
- I read about some product identification code, called PIC, that every real OMEGA watch has. It’s like a secret number, 14 digits long. Apparently, the first three numbers are for the model, like 311 for Speedmaster. Wild, right?
- And the fonts, the logo, the markings on the dial—they’re supposed to be super sharp on a real one. I spent hours looking at pictures of real Speedmasters, just trying to see what they’re supposed to look like.
- There’s also this laser etching on the back of the watch, on the case. They say that’s to stop people from making fakes.
Found some tips on how to spot a fake
I even found a few articles about how to spot a fake. It’s like a whole detective thing.
Anyway, I ended up getting one. Not a real one, of course, couldn’t afford that! But a pretty good copy. It looks nice, feels heavy, and it’s got that classic Speedmaster look. For me, that’s all I need. After all, it’s all about the style, right?
This whole CopyOMEGA Speedmaster Chrono Chime thing, it’s like a rabbit hole. You start looking, and next thing you know, you’re spending hours on it. But it’s been fun. It is not about how much money you have, but what makes you happy.
