Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial Watch For 2010
Omega's game of cat and mouse with the present and past continues. The last several sport watches they released seem to have at least one leg (from a design perspective) in the past. This new Speedmaster Broad Arrow Co-Axial watch isn't that much different. It is like a modern man in a vintage Armani suit that still looks pretty good today. The Broad Arrow Speedmaster watch has been around for a long time. The point of the name? Well compared to your standard Omega Speedmaster Professional watch the Broad Arrow has.well, it has a broad minute hand and an arrow hour hand. And to think that Broad Arrow just sounded like a cool name for a Speedmaster.Aside from this new for 2010 look, the "Speedmaster Broad Arrow" name doesn't get any embellishment. The case size is a generous 44.25mm wide in steel (likely to be gold version as some point) and uses the same case shape that Omega has been using for these watches forever. I like how even in a large size, the case shape still looks quite nic

I think...
Houston..Exactly & for the most part the question I was asking. How could one be without the other in the hierarchy of transitional technology. But my favorite up to this point is the individual that was told by a friend that the retooling process that was necessary to implement the co-axial was done at the cost of $20,000. Typical that a higher dollar figure denotes some distorted state of quality whereas a lower figure would be indicative of a inferior product. The more you pay the better the product.

So What Are You Favorite Non-Omega Tool Watch Brands?
By forum standards, I'm a small potato. After all, I currently own 7 watches, and only 2 of those are higher end. I've always liked watches, they have just been down the priority list as a pursuit. I'm also a hardware guy who likes 'em substantial and sporty, and am fascinated by mechanical movements. I'm a bigger fan of tool than dress watches, though some dress chronos really appeal. They generally fit my lifestyle a little better as well. I've never bought vintage because there seems to be a lot to learn to do it right. I've also not had much exposure to some of the more esoteric brands like Sinn and IWC or even the Japanese domestic market Seikos.(until last year I thought Panerai was a restaurant chain that baked their own bread). So, I am curious what your favorite brands other than Omega are. If there is a specific model or two you like regardless of price or country of origin, please feel free to post a photo. Just trying to get some ideas from a like minded group of folks.
