Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch (White Dial)
#67
Guillermo Velarde
United States
Some wins happen on a first try.
Others come after months of showing up, staying patient, and believing your turn will eventually come.
For Guillermo Velarde, it was the second path.
Originally from Peru, Guillermo moved to Canada more than 20 years ago before eventually relocating to the United States for work.
“I was born in Peru and migrated to Canada 20 years ago, the last 10 in the US, always for work.”
Today, work keeps him moving.
“I travel a lot for work.”
When he’s not on the road, he enjoys following tennis, although he admits he doesn’t get to play as often as he’d like.
Like many Wolf Watch Club members, Guillermo didn’t discover the platform through social media or YouTube.
He found it while researching watches online.
“By Googling my last watch, Wolf and other similar sites started to show up.”
Before entering, he took the time to do his homework.
“I did my research prior to participating the first time by verifying your website, reviews, etc.”
After deciding to give Wolf Watch Club a try, Guillermo became one of those familiar names that kept appearing week after week.
Competition after competition, he kept showing up.
He kept entering.
And he kept believing his turn would come.
Then one Sunday, it finally did.
Guillermo was selected as the winner of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.
His reaction?
“Extremely happy as I was trying for several months.”
For someone who had been consistently supporting Wolf Watch Club and participating competition after competition, the win felt especially rewarding.
While Guillermo doesn’t consider himself a serious watch collector, watches have always been something he’s appreciated.
“Not really a collector, but I do have some.”
His collection already included a Rolex and a Breitling before adding the Speedmaster.
But winning one of the most iconic watches ever made may have changed things.
“Maybe with this one I’m now a collector.”
The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is a watch with a story unlike any other, a watch worn during NASA missions and forever connected to space exploration.
For Guillermo, it also represents patience paying off.
He sees it as an opportunity for watch enthusiasts who might not otherwise have access to these kinds of timepieces.
“I think it is a good opportunity for people that want to give it a try.”
And for anyone who is considering entering Wolf Watch Club for the first time, Guillermo’s advice comes from experience.
After months of entering before finally hearing his name called, he understands better than most that patience matters.
“Give it a try, don’t despair and be patient.”
Congratulations again to Guillermo Velarde, winner of the Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch White Dial.
After months of showing up, supporting Wolf Watch Club, and believing his turn would come, Guillermo’s patience paid off!
