Return of the classic?


By-Tor

Recommended Posts

Hey... who still remembers my ancient review (from 2005) of the legendary plastic crystal Speedy Broad Arrow?

Read it here.

I went to the dealers' sites looking for the new stuff and found this from the Silix site.

Note that the first pictures are of the much nicer plastic crystal version that I reviewed. The last 3 pictures on the lower right corner, however, are of the disappointing new version which has a sapphire crystal and overall much less impressive presence.

My review watch wasn't accurate replica... that's not the point. But it was hell of a nice watch. If Silix can really source the old classic version for $250, it'd be quite cool.

Or perhaps the first photos are just very old photos and they don't see the difference between these 2 versions? Wouldn't actually surprise me at all.

Just curious...

Maybe you're right. Bummer.

That watch is SO nice... my brother owns my old watch and I would have purchased another. This used to be very sought after rep, but I'm not sure if it'd be that today (in the age of all these "super reps").
