ninjagaiden Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Been reading up on the Omega UPO and I chanced upon this the Omega Broad Arrow on the Omega web site http://www.omegawatches.com/gents/speedmaster/broad-arrow/32110445001001 I hadn't looked at a Speedmaster before but this one is stunning. Should I get a UPO now or wait for a rep of this one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougar1 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yeah that's quite nice, no good reps and doubtful there will be one, such a pity. The factories only concentrate on the big guns that will sell best, i.e. the PO etc ....even then it's a wait to get those right. There used to be a white dialed broad arrow years ago that was quite a good rep (now discontinued) ....we haven't seen a good one since. Almost all the speedy based reps are a bit of a disaster unfortunately. I'd say get the UPO and go with some of the other good reps, the speedy date is quite a good one if that appeals but I wouldn't hold my breath for the one above. I'm still waiting for them to perfect the Aqua terra range, and we've moved on a generation of gens since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I had the white dial BA (mentioned above) and yes they are pure sex on a stick, it's still the only watch I have ever had any comments on and I have many of the latest and greatest, including the PO. ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjagaiden Posted October 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Indeed. The white dial BA that#s available now looks okay but the blue hands and sticks are different colours. Such a shame! I always liked the Speedmasters. My Dad passed one up for a Memomatic back when I was a kid and I always thought he made the wrong choice. I dont know why for me there seems to be an elephant in the room with the UPO rep, dare I say it. Compared to the current gen UPO the coloured part of the bezel is too narrow, the font of the 6 is wrong, and the word seamaster on the dial should be in orange. People seem to be okay with it though. I think I will wait for a bit and see what is round the corner. Thanks N Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
