Alright, let’s talk about that OMEGA Speedmaster Chrono Chime I picked up. It’s a copy, yeah, but a pretty darn good one, from what I can tell.
So, I found this thing online. It says “Original order” in the ad, which, you know, whatever that means. It caught my eye because, well, it’s a Speedmaster, and they say it’s got both a chronograph and a minute repeater. Fancy stuff, right?
Getting My Hands on It
I went ahead and ordered it. Took a little while to show up, but when it did, I gotta say, I was kinda impressed. The watch looks really solid. It’s got a good weight, and it feels like they didn’t use cheap materials or something.
Checking It Out
I started playing around with it. The chronograph function, you know, the stopwatch thing, works just like it’s supposed to. Push the buttons, the hands start moving, stop, reset, the whole nine yards.
Now, about that minute repeater. This is where it gets interesting. They claim it’s the first movement ever to have both the chrono and the repeater. I’m no watch expert, but that sounds like a big deal. I tried it out, and yeah, it chimes. It actually tells you the time with little dings and dongs. Kinda cool, if you ask me.
Wearing It Around
I’ve been wearing this watch for a bit now. It’s comfortable enough, doesn’t feel weird on my wrist or anything. I even took it to a watch guy I know, just to get a second opinion. He took a look, messed with it a bit, and said it seemed like a decent copy. Didn’t spot any big red flags or anything.
Final Thoughts
- This OMEGA Speedmaster Chrono Chime copy, it’s been a fun little experiment.
- It’s got the look, the feel, and the functions of the real deal, at least as far as I can tell.
- And for the price I paid, I’m not complaining.
I ain’t saying it’s the same as owning the original, but it’s a nice piece to have. Plus, it’s a good conversation starter. People see it, they ask about it, and I get to tell them about this “Original order” thing I got. Makes me feel a bit like a watch guy, even though I’m really not. Anyway, that’s my story about this watch. Hope you found it interesting or something.
