There's a lot to like, joshsx . . .
. . . and kudos to Omega for respecting the original as much as reasonably possible with this model. Considering how much other manufacturers have taken liberties with established designs, Omega's strict interpretation is refreshing . . . cordially, Art
Poor pictures of a new purchase
Pictures of my latest purchase, forgive my poor photography skills. Paying homage to the irrepressible moonwatch, incorporating a co-axial automatic movement (with an understandably bad stigma attached), satiating my lust for a larger than 42mm watch, boa...

very nice Josh. my heart skipped a beat as i thought it was the COSC handwind pro
that would be one i would love to own. yours is very nice indeed. a lot of people prefer the auto speedies to the handwind as its more convenient and adding a date in a very subtle place works well. is this a new model or a used one as i'm not familiar wi...
Ah, that was also a lovely piece
It was a choice between the limited edition handwind pro (the enamel dial was gorgeous and i loved the number) and the Speedmaster CC. Eventually i just could not justify paying practically twice the amount for the LE. It has a stunning movement, admired ...
Americano, thats not the broad arrow, its the 1957 'replica'.
i have one and gave one to my son for his 21st. the broad arrow is an automatic with date at 6 oclock. same layout as Josh's, but with the borad arrow hands. you've got a superb daily beater there though whatever its called. its possibly may favourite han...

Ok the replica
Yes it is the replica but I have been wearing it for a a few months now , and i love her , She is slowly converting into my favorite . Especially the fact that I have to wind her up now and then gives a sort of zen consiousness touch to it . Americano
I like that routine too ...
I bought my speedy without my wife knowing. Keep it at work so it is my "work watch". Like to wind it up every day and half .. but especially enjoy watching the newly converted sapphire case back, looking at the movement as it starts turning again after w...
sorry i didnt mean to...
sorry i didnt mean to be picky, it should be called the broad arrow really, but you cant have 2 broad arrow models. they are the best modern speedy IMO and its good that you like it so much. my son lovingly winds his daily and wears it as soon as he gets ...
