Alright, so I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz lately about this CopyOMEGA Ω Speedmaster Super Racing watch. You know, the one all the young folks are going crazy about? They’re calling it a “collector’s item” and whatnot. Well, I figured I’d dive in and see what all the fuss was about. I mean, a watch is a watch, right?
First off, I started by doing some digging online. I saw some pictures of this Speedmaster Super Racing thing. It’s a big one, 44.25 mm, they say. Apparently, it’s got some fancy name, “Super Racing,” which makes it sound like it’s meant for race car drivers or something. I kept hearing folks say it’s a mix of a Seamaster and a Speedmaster, all rolled into one. Seemed kind of odd, but I went with it.
Then came the price. Man, these things are not cheap! I heard if you want a really good, original one, you’re looking at around $2,500, maybe even more. Some folks were even talking about how the price of these Speedmasters has gone up more than 10% in the last year and a half. And get this, there was some old Speedmaster from 1957 that sold for a whopping $3.4 million at some auction! That’s just insane for a watch.
- Looked around online – Found pictures, got the size (44.25 mm), heard it called “Super Racing.”
- Heard about the price – Around $2,500 for a good original, prices going up, and that crazy $3.4 million auction.
So, I decided I had to see one of these watches in person. I went down to a few shops, asked around, and finally got my hands on one. I started messing with it, you know, winding it up, setting the time, and checking out all the little details. It definitely felt solid, I’ll give it that. But was it worth all that money? I wasn’t so sure.
- Checked it out in person – Wound it, set the time, looked at the details. Felt solid.
I even heard that OMEGA might increase their prices again at the beginning of 2024. So, some people are saying it’s smart to buy one now before that happens. Makes sense, I guess. If you’re into that sort of thing.
The Verdict?
Honestly, it’s a nice watch. I get why people like it. But for me, it’s just a bit too much. Too much hype, too much money. Maybe if I was a millionaire or a race car driver, I’d feel differently. But for now, I think I’ll stick with my old, reliable watch. It tells the time just fine, and it didn’t cost me an arm and a leg.
