Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to get my hands on a nice watch for a while now. Not just any watch, mind you, but something special, something with a bit of history. I’ve always been a space nerd, so when I heard about the OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8 “Dark Side of the Moon”, I was immediately hooked. But let’s be real, those things are pricey. So, I started digging around to see if I could find a good deal on a copy.
I started by browsing. You know, just kind of seeing what was out there. I was mostly looking on websites that sell pre-owned watches, hoping to find a used original or copy for a decent price. The original model is called 310.92.44.50.01.001 if you want to look it up. After a few days of this, I realized I needed a more focused approach.
So I started comparing. I made a list of all the places I could find that were selling either the real deal or copies, and I wrote down the prices. It was a bit of a pain, to be honest, but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t getting ripped off. I looked for the cheapest one. Some were listed around $12,000, and the cheapest one I saw was like $7,900, but they were all still too much money.
Looking for a Cheaper One
- First, I looked at online stores. They had a lot, but most of them were just too expensive.
- Then, I checked out some auction sites. There were a few good options there, but I was worried about getting scammed.
- Finally, I decided to check out some forums. I figured there might be some people there who were selling their old watches or knew where to find copies.
After a lot of searching and comparing, I finally found what I was looking for. It was a copy, but it looked just like the real thing. And the best part? It was way cheaper. I won’t say exactly how much I paid, but let’s just say it was a lot less than the price of a new one. It was a hard choice.
The process of getting it wasn’t easy, though. There were a few hiccups along the way. The seller was a bit slow to respond, and the shipping took longer than I expected. But in the end, it all worked out. I got my copy OMEGA Speedmaster Apollo 8, and I couldn’t be happier. It’s not the real thing, but it’s close enough for me. And now I have a cool watch with a connection to space history, without breaking the bank.
All in all, I’m happy with my purchase. I was able to get the watch I wanted without spending a ton of money. It was worth all the effort.
