So, today I wanna talk about this watch I’ve been messing with – the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Super Racing. Yeah, I know, it’s not a real OMEGA, but it’s a pretty neat piece. I’ve been wanting one of these for a while now, and I finally took the plunge.
First off, finding where to buy it was a bit of a journey. I remembered someone saying, “Go to the Specialty Stores!” Okay, sure, that’s where you find the real ones, but I was after a copy. I spent a good few hours browsing around, asked a few folks, even checked out that Reliance SMART Bazaar nearby, just in case. No luck there, but it got me thinking about how these fancy watches are such a big deal.
I did some more digging, and it turns out these Speedmaster watches, especially the Super Racing ones, are hot stuff among collectors. People love the Seamaster ones too, but this Super Racing model, it’s like the new kid on the block, all shiny and new. I heard it’s got this “spirate” thingy that makes it super accurate, like only off by a couple of seconds a day. Pretty wild, right?
Now, getting my hands on it, that was another story. I didn’t go through the usual channels, you know, those OMEGA authorized service centers. Nah, I found a guy who knew a guy. Not the most legit way, I know, but hey, it’s a copy. The watch itself, it’s got a nice weight to it, feels solid. The serial number thing, it’s there, on the back. For the real vintage ones, they’re usually inside, but this one’s got it right there.
- First Impression: Feels good, looks sharp.
- The Hunt: Specialty Stores, nah. Found it through a contact.
- Tech Talk: Heard about the “spirate” for accuracy.
- Serial Number: It’s on the back, not hidden inside.
Getting to Know the Watch
Wearing it around, it’s been a conversation starter, for sure. I was at the market the other day, and these folks were talking about how it’s a “city folks” watch, costs a lot. Made me chuckle. It’s not a real OMEGA, but it sure gets the looks. And it’s been keeping time like a champ. I haven’t noticed it gaining or losing much time at all.
I’ve been wearing it every day, and it’s holding up pretty well. It’s not just for show, you know? It feels like it’s built to last, even if it’s not the real deal. It’s got that sporty feel, especially with the rubber strap. I heard the original ones were discontinued in 2018, which makes this copy feel a bit more special, in a weird way.
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with the CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Super Racing. It’s a cool watch, a bit of a rebel, not following the usual path. It’s got me appreciating the real ones even more, but for now, this one’s a fun addition to my daily wear. And who knows, maybe one day I’ll get my hands on a real OMEGA. But for now, this one’s doing just fine.
