Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this watch, the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm, the one they call “original order.” I heard a bunch of folks talking about it, saying how it’s the real deal and how to spot a fake one. So, I got curious and decided to take a closer look.
First off, I started digging around to see what makes this watch tick. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of watches, but this one’s supposed to be special. They kept going on about some numbers you gotta check. That’s what I did. I flipped the watch over and looked at the back. They said there should be a Reference Number inside the case-back, and an eight-digit serial number on the movement. I popped open the back – carefully, of course – and sure enough, there they were. Just like they said.
- Flipped the watch over to examine the case-back.
- Carefully opened the case-back.
- Found the Reference Number inside.
- Located the eight-digit serial number on the movement.
Next, I compared it to what I saw on those real OMEGA Speedmasters. You know, the ones they wore on the Moon back in the day? I even remembered that back in 1966, they switched from the 105.012 reference to the 145.012, and those were the ones used in the Apollo missions. This CopyOMEGA, it looked pretty darn close to those. The way it’s built, the details, it all seemed to match up.
Then I started thinking about those guys trying to sell fakes. I heard it’s a real problem. So, this whole number checking thing, it’s like a test to see if it’s genuine. I checked those numbers again on this CopyOMEGA, and they lined up with what I learned about the real ones.
After all that, I figured this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm “original order” is something else. It’s not just some cheap knock-off. It seems like they really tried to make it like the real thing. I even showed it to a buddy of mine who knows a thing or two about watches, and he was impressed.
Conclusion
So, after all this poking and prodding, I gotta say, this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster 38mm “original order” seems like a solid piece. It’s got the right numbers, looks the part, and feels good on the wrist. I wouldn’t go around saying it’s the same as a real one from the Apollo missions, but for what it is, it’s pretty impressive. I’m gonna keep wearing it and see how it holds up. Maybe I’ll even learn more about these Speedmasters along the way.
