Got some 'newbie' q's, if anyone can help!

Hi, gang...

I have a few q's - if anyone can answer them, or direct me to where I can get the specific info - I would greatly appreciate it!! :)

1) I've been getting more and more drawn to the Broad Arrow - but I keep hearing about the 33xx movement issues. How serious is this? I know that I would need to be careful, if I look to pick one up second hand - however, I'm concerned about the frequency of the problems...

2) I was also looking at the 1957 're-issue' (love those 'broad arrow' hands). However, amI correct is saying it's a SMALLER watch than the BA? I gotta get a 42mm watch at least...

3) And that brings me to my last q: any other Speedy's (older models, like a Snoopy, Moon or Pre-Moon, etc) that are 41-42mm?

Thanks for the help!
A.
