• Closing thoughts:
o On wrist - Famously wears smaller thanks to asymmetrical case w/integrated crown guards
 Perfectly paired to the Forstner Contemporary Flat Link Bracelet *(post-2021) fitment
o Model Variants - Tons of Speedy variations but this one hit a real sweet-spot for my personal tastes
o Comparable models - Seemingly endless modern and vintage references to choose from
o Bottom-line - As much as I love the Moonwatch, older more affordable variations lacked WR, a hacking-seconds hand and tighter timing tolerances, then although the newer releases resolved many of those issues, it also drove prices up and still only beats at 3Hz with 50m of WR
 So, for me this rather obscure neo-vintage Broad Arrow Automatic ended up being kind of perfect for me, as it added at of value while retaining the more iconic Speedy Professional scale

Good call on the bracelet. I'm ready to pull the trigger one of these just wish it had a different factory bracelet

I've been looking at getting the bullet bracelet from Forstner for this watch for a while now. Would you say that the current end links would fit better than the former ones?

I used to have the speedy pro moonwatch and foolishly sold it. This broad arrow fills all the gaps the speedy pro had such as date function and water resistance even though I stupidly swam in my speedy pro with no issues.

"Best"? Well, it's nice, but I think I'll stick with my 3594.50 "Reissue" as my broad arrow Speedmaster. There's not quite as much bling as on the 3551.50, but the 3594.50 has similar broad arrow hands, the applied Omega symbol and (like the Moonwatch) it has no date. Without the date, the dark grey dial is uncluttered, with only "Omega" and "Speedmaster" under the logo. Lume is excellent but not over the top. Also, it has the hesalite crystal and the 1861 hand wound movement instead of the 3551's automatic, which is a nice nod to its history. It's not chronometer spec, but a solid performer, nonetheless. A broad arrow Speedmaster is always a beauty though, regardless of the model. Thanks for a well-done review.

@@CaptainFury767 plenty of people talk about the Reissue/Replica, it's a great piece and me preferring this more obscure and oddly spec'd model doesn't take anything away from that. Enjoy it!

@@AverageBros Thanks, one can't go wrong with either. Cheers!
