I need a push..... (Moon Watch vs. Broad Arrow)

[WatchDude13]

Thanks for clickin' on this link.....

I am torn between the Broad Arrow w/ White Dial (Lemania Manual)

And the "Moon Watch" (same movement)

Right now, I am the proud owener of: PAM 183h (Joshua), PAM 005 (Davidsen), IWC Ingenieur (Andrew), and a Rolex GMTII (Gen). I don't have a white dial, so I am leaning towards the Broad Arrow - but I plan on purchasing a 113 or 114 and I don't need a bunch of white dials (the 113 or 114 is a certainty!). I know the Broad Arrow is more of a fantasy watch, this is the one case that I don't care - it is beautiful! However, the "Moon Watch" is a classic and it sings to me too!

It is really a 50-50 right now. They are both beautiful, both 'wink' at me, yet I can only do one right now.

What do I do? Give me a push..... :wink:

Thats all I'm going to say.

Broad Arrow, no question.

 

[rawbarZ7]

...but I do like that arrow... :?

Hope this helps!

[pugwash]

Can the Broad Arrow do this?

Or look this cool?

Did the Broad Arrow go to the Moon?

 

[pugwash]

It's been on the friggin' MOON.

You beat me to it.

Loads..... :roll:

BIG fan of the moon myself - I think its a little more dressy. The arrow is great, more casual imo.

hmmmm, you need both - that was easy

 

[jb]

I didn't think it was possible for the moon watch to look good, but Pugwash has done it. [smilie=notworthy.gif]

 

[dluddy]

Too hard to choose. I can only say this....Someday you have to own the Speedy Moon. It's a must have 8)

 

[Niko]

I'd go moonwatch, but they are both great.

If you can set it up like Pug, then you have a winner!

 

[daytona4me]

Am I the only one here who makes any sense?????


The Answer: BOTH! :x


Seriously, I would have to say the Moon but...... :?: are all your reps Black faced?
If so,, I might lean towards the broad arrow (which may be why you are considering it ??? No ?? )
You cant go wrong with the Moon, for most, the broad arrow is a love / hate thing, not a lot in between.
How big are you on accuracy? If that's all you care about, stay away from the broad arrow because, if I'm not mistaking,, not very accurate.

P.S. you are now obligated to post pics when you make your purchase! :wink:

LOL

Not sure if I should slap you for insulting the Moonwatch - I'm obligated to defend her honor or laugh at the fact that, yeah, Pug could probably make a dog turd look good

Broad Arrow isn't really a "fantasy watch", it's more of a "hybrid". There are lots of older Speedmasters that came with the broad arrow hands... AND without datewheel.

 

[By-Tor]

PS: I couldn't decide. I love them both equally. Although I only owned the "reduced" version of the rep.

 

[crick]

traditional moonwatch. it has more stories for you to tell.

 

[Vric]

Anyway, since the good old Broad Arrow is impossible to find (new one have flat glass, different hand, different dial) you better go with the Moon Watch.

So: If you find a good old BA, give it to me :lol: Else, go with Moon.
