So, I’ve been eyeing the OMEGA Speedmaster for a while now. You know, the classic one, it’s been a dream watch of mine. But my wrists are kinda small, just about 6 inches, and I was worried the regular Moonwatch might look a bit too chunky on me. Then I stumbled upon the Speedmaster 38mm. It seemed like the perfect fit, literally.
I did some digging online, reading forums and reviews. People were saying it’s a great option for those with smaller wrists who still want that iconic Speedmaster look. And you know what? I found a place that does some pretty good copies of it! I mean, I’ve always loved the black Speedmasters, and this one seemed like a good chance to try it out. I know, I know, some people are against copies, but I figured, why not give it a shot?
First, I spent a couple of weeks checking out different sellers. You wouldn’t believe the number of places selling these things online! It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest. I read through tons of comments and looked at countless pictures. Finally, I found a seller that seemed legit, with decent reviews and detailed photos.
- The next step was to actually order the watch. I was a bit nervous, not gonna lie. I mean, you never really know what you’re gonna get with these things. But I took the plunge and placed the order. The waiting was the hardest part! It felt like forever.
- After about three weeks, the package finally arrived. I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. And there it was, the CopyOMEGA Speedmaster 38mm. It looked pretty good, I gotta say. The black dial, the tachymeter bezel, it all looked surprisingly accurate.
I spent the next few days examining it closely. I compared it to pictures of the real deal online, looking for any major flaws. I checked the weight, the feel of the bracelet, the way the chronograph pushers clicked. I even took a magnifying glass to the dial, scrutinizing the tiny details.
My Findings
Honestly, I was impressed. Sure, it wasn’t perfect. The finishing wasn’t quite as refined as the genuine article, and the materials obviously weren’t top-notch. But for the price, it was a pretty darn good copy. The chronograph function worked smoothly, and it kept decent time. It definitely had that classic Speedmaster vibe, and it looked great on my wrist. The 38mm size was spot on, not too big, not too small. I wore it out a few times, and even got a few compliments on it! It’s definitely a head-turner, especially with those diamonds.
I ended up wearing it for a couple of months. It became my daily driver for a while. It’s stylish, that’s for sure. But after wearing it for a while, I found a few more minor inconsistencies. The serial number was off, and the hallmarks were missing. But again, for a copy, it was surprisingly well-made. It was definitely a fun experience, and it gave me a taste of what it would be like to own a real Speedmaster. This CopyOMEGA Speedmaster 38mm is a good example that combines the classic look with some modern touches.
