I also like the look of the 57 Rep better

In Response To: I personally like the look of the 57 Rep better ()

The broad arrow hands are very distinctive and serve as a reminder of the early heritage of the watch. This makes it work for me. Functionally, of course, the two watches share the same movement so the difference is visual not mechanical. Some folks will point out that the Speedy Pro's hands are more functional in that they have higher contrast and don't block subdials as much as the broad arrows, although I haven't been bothered by this. This is a watch that represents a long and distinguished heritage. Aside from the looks, one issue may be whether you want to be reminded of the space program- or something a bit earlier... This is a case where you can't make a BAD choice- so enjoy.
