Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow WG 3652.30.31

Hi recently came across the Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow in white gold, reference 3652.30.31 which looks really nice on pictures:

Does anyone here owns one and can comment about it? Looking to confirm if the case lug to lug length is the same as on the regular 42 MM Speedmaster Pro (anbout 47 MM) and the watch thickness (think is about 14.5 MM, so apparently about the same as the Speedy Pro). I know is automatic (caliber 3303 with column wheel) and has a sapphire crystal (two aspects are not loved by Speedmaster Pro purists 😲 ) but like a lot white gold and am thinking maybe looking for one of this in the near future 😀

These Broad Arrow pieces do wear exactly the same as the Sapphire Sandwich Pro and have the advantage (or disadvantage depending on your POV) of being Automatic and having a date complication. In many respects the movement is way more impressive than that used in the Pro, but the lack of a space connection with these means they are overlooked by the majority of Speedy fans. This is good news if you want one as they are a lot cheaper than a Pro. A gold Pro might be be £20K and upwards, more for a vintage one, I haven't looked but I suspect a precious metal Broad Arrow might exchange hands at less than half the price of the equivalent 861/1861/3861 model. Which is madness really since these are really nice. In steel at least, the price of the Speedy Reduced is now approaching the price of these, which is nuts. They are very different gravy indeed with a movement closely related to one used by Patek, Blancpain, AP, VC etc.

These weren't big sellers even in steel, I would expect that finding a tidy precious metal one might be a tough quest.

Thanks for your reply! 😀
There are not many white PM pieces among Omega sport watches so this one caught my eye. Like more the black bezel look of the Apollo 11 25th anniversary but that one is a lot of more $$
