Okay, so let’s talk about how I got my hands on this OMEGA Seamaster Bullhead, the original order version. It was a bit of a journey, but totally worth it.
First off, I spent a ton of time just browsing and looking around. I mean, we are talking about an OMEGA here, so I wanted to be extra careful. The first thing I noticed during my hunt was the sheer number of variations out there. I mean, there are dozens of different types of original Omega case parts. Theoretically, someone could fit a signed Omega crown to a watch that’s supposed to have a different one. Because it’s an original crown!
So, I started digging deeper. I was paying attention to the tiny details. It’s like, you gotta look for spelling mistakes, incorrect spacing, or poorly executed markings. If you notice any amateurish details, that’s a red flag. Those guys selling fake watches can get pretty good, but they often mess up the little things.
- I spent hours comparing pictures online, especially of the case back and the dial.
- I was looking at the font, the spacing between the letters, and the overall finish.
- I even looked at how the numbers were printed.
I remembered seeing something about the four in the 2016 Omega catalog at just over 6. It’s the little things like this that can give away a fake. I focused on comparing the font used for the date window, because it should be very specific to OMEGA Seamaster Bullhead original order, right?
Then I started searching for a reliable guy. I read a bunch of reviews and asked around on some watch forums. Finally, I found this guy who seemed legit. He had a good reputation and was willing to answer all my questions. I asked him a ton of questions about the watch’s history, the condition, and if he had any original papers. We went back and forth for a while, and I finally felt comfortable enough to pull the trigger.
When the watch finally arrived, I was like a kid on Christmas morning. I carefully inspected every inch of it. The weight felt right, the details were spot on, and the movement was running smoothly. I even took it to a local watchmaker to get it authenticated, and he confirmed that it was the real deal.
The Result
So yeah, getting this OMEGA Seamaster Bullhead original order was definitely an adventure. It took a lot of time, research, and patience, but it was all worth it. Now I have a beautiful and authentic timepiece that I can enjoy for years to come. It’s a great feeling to know that you’ve done your homework and gotten exactly what you wanted.
