What do you want to know that Hodinkee didn't discuss?

looks cool but personally, id prefer a real vintage 1957 broad arrow
also, i'm not a big fan of all the different versions of the speedmaster 3570.50 is good enough for me |

I do like the 3570.50 and I am also not a big fan of the other versions of the speedmaster but this one got my attention, its has this nice retro/modern feel to it

OK. Sorry, then I haven't worn the watch, but I know that you can judge the wear characteristics by just popping over to your local Omega seller and trying one on. It's a chrono and I don't buy chronos since I have more use for my money than I do for watch complications I know I won't use. But I know that some "watch people" like to buy chronos just to have a complicated watch. As complications go, I tend to go for automatics, GMT and alarms, calendars (because I can/will use the feature), minute repeaters, or maybe a moon phase if the watch offers something unique in its moon display and I feel really, really compelled by it. (for aural and/or visual pleasure)
Here is another review of the watch. I haven't read it, but ABTW often offers wearability impressions and experiences. http://www.ablogtowatch.com/review-t...l-chronograph/ The only Omega I have is a Constellation and I've had not one single negative experience with it. Tons of folks like the Speedy offerings, so I can't say as I'd think you'll be disappointed. Here's some thoughts on the 9300 movement inside the case: http://www.hodinkee.com/blog/2012/1/...chronogra.html

I think I'll wait for the dealer to bring it so I can try it on, at 41.5" the dial size is definitely to my liking but I'm not sure about the thickness of the case. |

Glad the ABTW was helpful for I had little else of value to offer, and you are most welcome. All the best.

i saw a side shot of the broad arrow and i was surprised at how tall it was..
the co-axial 8500.. they're beautiful watches with impressive movements but i really do not like how tall they are |
