Okay, so, let me tell you about this little project I got into recently. It’s all about getting that classic OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm vibe without, you know, emptying my wallet. These watches are slick, but they’re not exactly cheap, so I figured, why not try to get a copy of one?
First off, I started digging around online. Just casual browsing, checking out forums, and seeing what people were saying about these Speedmaster Reduced models. Apparently, they were introduced way back in 1988, and the whole selling point was that they were smaller and more affordable than the regular Speedmasters. That sounded right up my alley.
Then I got a bit more specific. I narrowed it down to the 38mm version because it seemed like the perfect size. Not too big, not too small. Goldilocks, you know? I compared it with the 39mm Reduced version, but the 38mm just felt more “classic” to me, more in line with that timeless style I was after.
Next up, I actually went to a store. Yeah, I know, who goes to physical stores anymore? But I wanted to see this thing in person. I tried it on, felt the weight, saw how it looked on my wrist. It’s one thing to see pictures online, but it’s a whole different ball game when you have it right there in front of you. The 38mm was definitely the right call. It felt great, looked great, and I was pretty much sold.
I also noticed some differences in style compared to other OMEGA watches I saw. It wasn’t a big deal, but it just confirmed that this was the style I wanted to go for. It has this unique charm that sets it apart, even though it’s part of the broader Speedmaster family. And you know what? It’s not just about the size. These 38mm watches are designed with simplicity in mind, which is a huge plus for me. I’m not into those super complicated, busy-looking watches.
And finally, I made my decision. After researching, comparing, and trying it on, I was sure about getting a copy of the OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm. But the price of the original one is still out of my reach. So, I decided to get a copy one. You can find these copy OMEGA watches at various price points, even with financing options, which is pretty neat. Anyway, that’s my little adventure in a nutshell. It’s been a fun ride, and I’m stoked to finally have a watch that looks like a classic Speedmaster 38mm without having to sell a kidney.
