Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow 35512000

I am seriously considering an Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow ref
35512000. This watch is new old stock, and about 3 years old . The movement is the Piguet, modified for Omega.

I saw a few reviews where there were complaints about misalignment of the second hand.

I am thinking you guys are the Omega aficionados, so what's the deal....buy or pass?

Buy, buy, buy. I've owned several man on the moon speedmasters, but I have always admired the broad arrow with a white dial. The thicker hands are nice, different and cool.

The only thing that stops me from the Speedmaster is the larger size looks funny on my small wrists- otherwise this watch would be in my collection...!

It's a great watch, get a leather strap and it becomes very dressy. Nice versatile watch- yup, I'm a fan!

Always loved the blue marker and hand set on this piece. Just buy it right.

Cool watch I recall seeing a nice review against a Daytona a few years back.
