Alright, so you wanna know about buyin’ a CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Date, huh? Well, sit down and listen, ’cause I’m gonna tell ya what I know. It ain’t rocket science, but there’s a few things you gotta think about before you go spendin’ your hard-earned money.
First off, what kinda CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Date you want? See, they got all sorts of ’em. Some folks like them big ol’ ones, like that fella was talkin’ about, somethin’ with a 44.25mm case. Says it’s got a date window at 6 o’clock. He likes that, says he needs the date on all his watches. Me? I don’t care much. As long as it tells the time, that’s all that matters to me. But you, you might be different.
Now, they got these Moonwatch ones, too. Folks say that’s the real deal, the one they wore on the moon. Manual wind, they say, and a black face. Sounds fancy, but I reckon it just tells time like any other watch. They got somethin’ called a Hesalite crystal, too. Don’t ask me what that is, sounds like somethin’ you’d find in a rock collection to me.
- Size Matters: Figure out if you want a big watch or a small watch. Don’t go buyin’ somethin’ that looks like a dinner plate on your wrist if you got a little arm.
- Date or No Date: You gotta decide if you need that little date thingy. Some folks swear by it, others don’t care.
- Moonwatch or Not: That Moonwatch one, it’s supposed to be special. But it’ll cost ya more, I reckon.
- Manual or Automatic: This one’s about how you wind the watch. Manual means you gotta wind it yourself, automatic does it for ya. Pick your poison.
Then there’s the bracelet, that’s the metal band thing. They say it’s like the Speedmaster pro, whatever that is. But this fella said it’s a different width. I guess that matters to some folks. And there’s somethin’ about a “quick set” date. Means you can change the date fast, I guess. Sounds like a lot of fuss to me.
Now, let’s talk about money. These watches, they ain’t cheap. Especially if you want one of them “special edition” ones. Folks say they’re investments, but I say it’s just a watch. But hey, if you got the money to burn, go ahead and burn it. You might even find one from 1999 if you’re lucky, or unlucky, dependin’ on how you look at it.
And be careful where you buy it from! There’s a lot of fakes out there, ya know. They say you gotta check the serial number on the back. It’s gotta be engraved, not just printed on. And you can look it up online to make sure it’s real. Sounds like a lot of trouble to me, but if you really want one, I guess that’s where you gotta go.
People are all lined up to buy these things, been that way since 1957 they say. I don’t get it myself. All that fuss over a watch. But hey, to each their own, I always say. If you find yourself “fancying a very specific watch,” as them city folks say, well, you go on and get it.
So, you gotta figure out what you want, how much you wanna spend, and where you gonna buy it from. That’s about it. Ain’t nothin’ more to it than that. Don’t let them fancy watch salesmen talk you into somethin’ you don’t need. And remember, a watch is just a watch. It tells you the time, nothin’ more, nothin’ less.
Rarity plays a big part in the price too, from what I hear. Those limited edition ones, they cost a pretty penny. Folks think they gonna go up in value. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. It’s all a gamble if you ask me.
So, there you have it. That’s all I know ’bout buyin’ these CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Date watches. It ain’t hard, just gotta use your common sense. And if you still can’t figure it out, well, maybe you should just stick to a sundial. At least you know that’s always gonna be tellin’ the truth.
