Hello Terbaboom! My big pleasure, you deserve it. Thank you so much for sharing the link to your previous post about your simple but clever and effective photo set up.

I will be trying it myself. I used to employ similar set up as Nicolas which he showed me during one of our meetings some years ago. Will try yours too.
Regarding my Speedy: Yes, those hour hands are called the "broad arrow" and sometimes the watch is called the Speedy broad arrow. This particular watch is reference 3594.50 launched by Omega during circa 1998 and inspired in the first Speedmaster of 1957 reference 2915.
Omega launched this 3594.50 under the name "replica" which is rather confusing as some think it was not an original Omega product.due to the name. So collectors prefer to call it "re-issue".
Any way it is not a true replica of the original "Broad Arrow" watch of 1957 as it differs in many details including the case lugs.
In 2017 Omega launched its Trilogy series of three watches celebrating the 60 years of the Railmaster, Speedmaster and Seamaster watches and that Trilogy Speedmaster was very true to the original first model Speedy of 1957.
Omega has offered many models equipped with Big Arrow hands along the last say 60 years. A very distinctive design of hands no doubt.
Best cordial regards, Abel
