I am fancying the 3575.20 moonphase speedy to replace my similar blue and white broad arrow. If I could broker a good deal do you think it’s a worthwhile upgrade?
Thanks

 

Totally up to you Dave, I sold my 3575 because I was scared to wear it for fear of damaging it. Then I bought another one because I missed it,
it is a very pretty watch.
You got your 3551 for next to nothing so if you can find a good trade I say go for it.

 

I enjoy mine quite a bit. The "pop" of the white dial and blue hands I really like. I do not wear it everyday, but I do wear it often. I think it could be worth the upgrade, if it does what you want. I agree with Dennis about the good trade angle. Regrettably, I am not familiar with your other watch and as new as I am to the watch hobby, I do not think I can advise you further on the matter. But I do enjoy mine especially on "Speedy Tuesday". I also do not regret buying my 3575.20.

 

Thanks Simon I’m only thinking about it at the moment, you know what it’s like. I had my 3551 serviced by Simon Freese recently and it’s still in tip top condition, it was a good buy. Do you want to sell me your 3575 for the same price?

 

Sorry Dave, I traded it for a 2915 last year.

 

Ah! well I tried.

 

They are very similar in look and up to a point function so I guess it comes down to how much you want the moonphase look. I rate the 33x3 movement more highly than some so while I love the look of the moonphase would miss the auto movement and higher beat rate of the 3303 if moving over to the 1866. I have a later white/silver dial 3313 movement BA and it’s a keeper. Damaging the WG Bezel would worry me too but I bet it’s lovely in the flesh.

 

I always thought my 3551 was a keeper until is saw the 3575. It just has a little more appeal to me with the WG bezel and the moonphase and the rarity value. I am thinking it’s a posher 3551.
