Re: Omega Speedmaster, Broad Arrow
In Response To: Re: Omega Speedmaster, Broad Arrow ()

: I bought a used but never worn Broad Arrow last
: year, and it has been one of the nicest
: watches I have ever owned. However, the 3303
: caliber movement has had some issues since
: it was introduced by Omega, so you'll want
: to ask the seller if the watch was ever
: serviced, if he ever had any problems with
: the chronograph functions (failure to reset,
: etc.), and exactly how old the watch is. The
: older movements had a higher incidence rate
: of reported problems, so if you can get one
: that is newer or still under warranty, this
: is your best bet.

John - thanks for the insight. The watch is 3 yrs old, and has the sapphire crystal with the 3303 movement. It keeps time to a tolerance of 2 seconds per day. As far as "collectability", is this a piece that is hard to come by, or can this be had upon any special order at a Dealer? ANy millesimation numbers for the past 3 yrs production runs?
Again, thank you for your information.
