I’m going to try to get a copy of the OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing today. This watch has been on my radar for a while, and I’m pretty pumped to finally give it a shot.
First things first, I did some digging online to see which authorized dealers near me might have it in stock. I found a couple of boutiques, but also some big-name jewelry stores that carry OMEGA.
I called up the closest boutique first to check on availability. The guy on the phone, a real smooth talker, said they had one left, but he couldn’t hold it for me. So I hopped in my car and raced over there. Let me tell you, parking downtown was a nightmare. I finally found a spot a few blocks away and walked as fast as I could to the boutique.
When I got there, it was like walking into a spaceship. Super sleek, modern design, with watches displayed like precious artifacts. I spotted the Speedmaster Super Racing right away – that bright yellow second hand really pops against the black dial.
I waited for a sales associate to free up, and then a friendly lady, Sarah, came over to help me. I told her I was interested in the Super Racing, and she pulled it out of the case for me to try on.
Man, this watch is something else in person. The honeycomb dial pattern is way cooler than it looks in pictures, and the ceramic bezel feels incredibly solid. It’s a bit bigger than I expected, at 44.25mm, but it sits comfortably on my wrist. Sarah explained some of the features, like the co-axial escapement and the silicon balance spring, but honestly, I was too busy admiring the watch to pay much attention.
I tried it on and walked around the store, checking it out from different angles. I even stepped outside to see how it looked in natural light. It’s a real looker, that’s for sure.
Now, the price. It’s not cheap. I’m not gonna lie. It is a big investment for me. But, I’ve been saving up for this, and after seeing it in person, I knew I had to have it. The watch has a good resale value and is considered a good investment piece. So I took a deep breath and told Sarah I’d take it.
She seemed genuinely happy for me, which was nice. We went through the paperwork, and she showed me how to use the chronograph and adjust the date. Then, she carefully packaged it up in a fancy box, complete with a bunch of booklets and a warranty card.
- First, Find a dealer.
- Then Try it on.
- Buy it when you like it.
The last step
Walking out of the store with that box in my hand was a great feeling. I can’t wait to start wearing this watch and making some memories with it. It’s not just a timepiece; it’s a symbol of hard work and a passion for craftsmanship.
It might seem a bit silly to some people to get so excited about a watch. I know, I know, there are more important things in life. It’s just a watch to show the time, right? But for me, it’s more than that. It’s a little piece of engineering art that I can wear on my wrist every day. And every time I look at it, I’ll be reminded of the day I finally got my hands on the OMEGA Speedmaster Super Racing.
