    Hello all,
    I may not be looking hard enough, but there is little information on the 57 broad arrow in 18k and steel (No.321.93.42.50.13.001) I am looking at one tomorrow and I know about the 3313 movement, and I really enjoy the look of the watch, but there seems to be little love for them/not much on them. Can anyone point me in the right direction or explain why they don't seem to be too common? Also not much out there to judge market/fair price off of... Pic for reference.
    Thanks!

    Perhaps it has something to do with versatility. If someone is only going to buy one relatively expensive watch then one consideration might be how it works in all situations. The SS version is more versatile.
    Another reason might be that it might be considered unattractive by many. If I had lots of modern watches then I might buy this because it is different, I am not sure how much wrist time it would get though.

    I agree- It's very "loud" compared to a moonwatch- but I think it dresses up in the right situation. I get a gentleman's racer/turn-of-the-century study vibe from it. It's out of the norm at least.
    I was looking for a moonwatch to replace my reduced, and came across this locally, and I really liked the look.

    If you wear a lot of brown then this could be the watch for you.

    I still wear mine quite a lot after seven years of ownership despite being one of several Speedmasters in the collection. Think I prefer the bracelet to the leather strap but it's a close run thing.

    If you like it then that is the only thing that matters so go ahead and buy it. When I consider a watch for purchase, I like to look at it a few times over a longer period of time to see if I still want it, perhaps you can think about it for a few weeks. Also Basel world is only a few weeks away and there might be something that you like more.

    I feel like I have to see it in person to fully appreciate the colors and see if it matches. I love the design of the moonwatch, but the appeal of having something different might be worth it. I'll have to think about it a bit.
