Okay, so I’ve been eyeing this OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm for a while now, the classic style one. I finally pulled the trigger and wanted to share my whole experience with y’all, from start to finish. First off, I’m no watch expert, just a regular guy who appreciates a good-looking timepiece, you know?
I started by digging around online, reading whatever I could find about it. It’s not easy, man. But there is always some useful stuff out there. I found this one is discontinued so my option is to find a used one. It was kind of hard to find, but I found it on some forum. There are also a lot of discussions in the forum and some people are sharing their experiences. I’ve also learned that this watch holds its value pretty well, which is a nice bonus.
Then I searched on the used market. There are a bunch of different versions of this watch – some with stainless steel, others with gold, and even a mix of both. I’m more of a simple guy, so I went for the all-stainless-steel one. The movement is OMEGA Calibre 3330, which is like the engine of the watch. It’s automatic, which is cool. No battery needed. And it’s got something called a Co-Axial escapement – I don’t know what that is, but it sounds fancy, right?
I checked out a couple of online marketplaces and forums where people buy and sell watches. It took some time, but I finally found one that looked good and was in my price range. I messaged the seller, asked a few questions, and we agreed on a price. I won’t tell you the exact price, but let’s just say it was a decent deal. And this is a limited edition, which is one of the reasons I like it.
The seller sent me the watch, and when it arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I carefully opened the box, and there it was – my new (well, used, but new to me) OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm. It looked even better in person than in the pictures. I put it on my wrist, and it felt just right. Not too big, not too small, just perfect.
I’ve been wearing it for a few weeks now, and I gotta say, I love it. It’s comfortable, it looks great, and it keeps time perfectly. I even got a few compliments on it, which is always nice. I really like wearing it.
Here are the steps I took to get the watch:
- Browsed online: Looked for info about the Speedmaster 38mm on websites and forums.
- Searched the used market: Checked online marketplaces and forums for used watches.
- Found a seller: Found a watch I liked and messaged the seller.
- Negotiated the price: Agreed on a price with the seller.
- Received the watch: Got the watch in the mail and started wearing it.
What I Realized
So, that’s my story of getting my hands on this classic OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it in the end. If you’re thinking about getting one, I say go for it! Just be patient, do your research, and you’ll find the perfect one for you. And who knows, maybe you’ll even get a good deal like I did. It’s a great watch, and I’m happy to have it in my collection.
