Okay, let’s talk about this OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch. I’ve been eyeing it for a while, and finally, I got my hands on it. Specifically, the one with the open case back. It’s a beauty, but getting here took a bit of work.
The Purchase
First, I had to snag the watch itself. I found a good deal online from a reputable seller. They had a bunch of pictures, and everything looked legit, so I pulled the trigger and ordered it. Shipping took a few days, but it was worth the wait. The box was packed really well, no damage or anything.
Opening It Up
Now, I wanted to get a good look at the movement inside, so I decided to open up the case back. The tools I used were simple, a case back opener tool that I found from a watch parts store, and a small screwdriver set. It took me like 10 minutes to figure it out. It felt a little risky, as I didn’t want to scratch anything, but the tool worked great. Once I got it open, I just used a soft cloth to wipe down the inside.
Documenting the Movement
After getting inside, it was time to take some pictures. I used my phone for most of the shots, setting it to macro mode to get those close-up details. I also used a small LED light to brighten things up. I snapped a ton of pictures from different angles to make sure I got everything.
Uploading and Sharing
Then came the fun part – sharing my findings. I wanted to upload the pictures to a place where they could be easily accessed. I tried using the platform, but the upload speed was slow, so I opted for another one instead. I uploaded all the pictures and wrote a short description of what I did.
Cleaning Up
After all that, I carefully put the case back on, making sure it was tight. I didn’t want any dust getting in there. Cleaned up my tools, put the watch back in its box, and that was that.
Conclusion
All in all, it was a pretty cool experience. It was a bit nerve-wracking opening up a new watch, but I’m glad I did. Now I’ve got some great pictures of the movement and a better appreciation for the craftsmanship of this OMEGA Speedmaster. I might do it again with other watches, who knows?
