In Response To: whats the diferece ()

: hi. I was wonderig if anyone can tell me the
: difference between the speedmaster day date
: models. 3220.50.00 and the3520.50.000. any
: help would be much appreciated. cheers!!!

Yes, I can... Oh you want me to? Ok... The 3220 is the new revised version of the older 3520 version. The main difference is that the caseback is now a screwdown back [as opposed to a screw back on the older model] and as a result the W/R rating is now 100m as opposed to 30m. The movement is also now COSC Chronometer rated where before it was not. Oh, and the case is supposedly a little bit bigger than the old model.

Basically, unless you can get one helluva discount on the older model, I'd recommend you get the new model if that's what you want.

P.S. I'd personally rather get a vintage 5100 Speedmaster but that's just me...
