It’s impossible to navigate through the rabbit hole of horology without encountering arguably the most iconic watch of all time. I kept bumping into the perfect fake Omega Speedmaster Professional, and honestly, I didn’t know what the fuss was about back then! Nowadays, I believe a collection can simply not be complete without the beloved manual-wind NASA-qualified chronograph. I love a unique version of an icon, so I had been scavenging for an interesting version of the cheap replica Omega Moonwatch UK. One that I’ve always been very interested in is the controversial Apollo 17 model with the silver coin dial.
In early 2016, while casually strolling down Zürich’s Bahnhofstrasse, I saw the Apollo-Soyuz meteorite-dial Omega replica for sale UK you see pictured here for 2900 Swiss francs. This was a mere third of the market value at the time! I thought it was some kind of mistake, so I ran in and inquired about it. There was no mistake, and the watch came as a full set as well. Initially, I was unsure whether I’d keep it. Upon trying the cheap super clone Omega on, though, it took me approximately zero seconds to decide that I would. Seven years later, it’s still one of my favorite pieces in the collection. While prices have soared well beyond what I paid, I can happily say I was never tempted to sell it. It’s just that cool.
