Re: Speedmaster 3513.30.00 and 3551.20.00 Question

Thanks for the info, now bring on the pictures! I am going into New York City tomorrow and will be stopping at a few stores, so if anyone knows any good authorized retailers that will let me hold and take pictures of the watch please let me know!

Just a few more questions:
-Does the broad arrow have any words on the back besides the Seamonster and "Omega"? I saw a picture of one that said BROAD ARROW but it looked like a reproduction not authentic.
-How are Speedmaster's crystals against scratches is it the same material as the Seamaster because you could probably nuke the thing and it wouldn't be sratched.

Here's what I've figured so far for anyone who is interested:

The broad arrow sounds like an amazing watch, however the price is a little too much for me to spend on a watch that will be sharing wrist time with my all-time favorite watch, my Seamaster. The Americas Cup chrono sounds awesome but I don't really like the looks and I was hoping to get a Speedmaster. I don't plan to collect watches I just want to have a little variety so again I think I'll stay away from another seamaster.
