Speedy Broad Arrow today. Most of the time it looks like this; white with very dark blue trim...

... but catch the light and the blue shines. Image

@gaf1958 - very smart Gary.

Think I need to try my Broad Arrow on a bracelet too, and Moonwatch on a strap.

I can’t remember Guy - did you get yours with the bracelet or not? The reason I ask is that the BA bracelet is subtly different to the moonwatch bracelet. While they’re fully interchangeable, as the cases are the same, the BA bracelet has a curve across the width of the links (seen in pics below), whereas the moonwatch bracelet is flat in that dimension. In most respects, I prefer the BA bracelet as it’s more curvaceous...

Flatter standard moonwatch bracelet.

@gaf1958 - I too prefer curvaceous, Gary. :wink:

As to bracelets mine is a Moonwatch one; at least I bought it with my Moonwatch.

Following your explanation I can understand the difference as the fitted ends, whilst curved to fit the case, nevertheless seem to be pretty flat on top (hard to see when fitted to the case, with all the reflections you get).

Perhaps I ought to take it off the watch and have a closer look.

They will be totally interchangeable Guy, the end links are the same shape at the case, but each link in the BA bracelet (including end links) has the curved profile to it.

The cheapest way (by far) is to simply swap the bracelet from the moonwatch to the BA, as to most people they look much the same.
