7:40 you got that bracelet too early, it now comes with an adjustable clasp

[@konstantinkalinin861]

As an owner of the Reduced, I thank you for the review. I wear it on a Nato, on a rubber strap in summers, on a leather band if I have to be formal, and on its original bracelet if I don't. It packs a lot of a watch in its small case. It is an eye-picker and a story-teller. What more to love? This piece will surely stay in my collection. I had to service it once, after I had bought it aftermarket, and the price tag for the service was not pleasant but... It has been so good after that.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

The reduced is such a nice fit!

[@jeffh903]

What did the service cost?

[@waks00]

650€ in a local SAT in Spain and 900€ in the Oficial Omega@@jeffh903

I saw several reduced Spedmasters for sale in Japan. They were selling for really good prices. I want to say that they were around $3,000 U.S.

The Speedmaster Reduced was the watch that reclaimed the model for what it was originally intended: motor racing. The Professional got stuck in the moon.

I cross shopped the Speedmaster reduced against both the Speedmaster sandwich and Seamaster. Ultimately, I felt that it looked small on my wrist and ended up buying the Speedmaster sandwich and the Seamaster Pro. I did also see a large gentleman purchasing a Speedmaster reduced when I was in the store. It looked a little small for him though.

I love both watches and cars and there are closed minded snobs in both. A great watch is a great watch regardless.

[@mocheen4837]

I looked at the reduced model very closely. It was nice, but looked a little too small on my wrist. I also ended up really liking the sapphire case back on the Speedmaster. I am used to wearing larger dials like the Panerai and Submariner which could have weighed on my decision.

[@YouTazeem]

Hi Max! Brilliant review, need you advice on the Speedy. I've always wanted the Speedmaster for it's apollo history. However, it doesn't look the best on my skinny wrist. I am quite impressed by the 38mm but can it actually be called the moonwatch too?

[@morganthedruid1]

It must have been a difficult decision Max but I think you made the correct choice in trimming down the collection, not sure which one I would have gone for but to be honest they are all so good you would always be left with a fantastic watch. It will be interesting to see where you focus those extra funds raised from the sale but if you stay with Omega the 39.5mm Planet Ocean would be make for an interesting review. Great stuff mate and sorry I'm late again to the party 😂

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Hey Morgan! You are the epitome of a watch minimalist and I envy you 😉. The PO has always been interesting to me, especially after seeing it on Jeremy Clarkson.

[@Miserereion]

I also like the steel bezel on the ‘57 reissue. That’s why I modded my 1863 sapphire sandwich to use that bezel. I have it on Forstner Komfit bracelet, I think it looks fantastic. I don’t think I will ever go back to the original black bezel.

I’m so glad I stumbled across this video. I’ve debated between the Pro and that exact same Broad Arrow for a while now. It was great to see the bracelet swap too. Does it bother you that the Broad Arrow’s dial is not as black as the Pro’s?

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Thanks Steve. It used to bother me, but realize that vintage speedies will get more grey, so I think that was a design choice.

[@NPrez-cv4jn]

I was thinking the same thing. Likewise, The broad arrow would look amazing with the pro black bezel imo. Don’t get me wrong, I love it as it is too.

Perfect video once again! I currently own a FOIS but sometimes I feel it's a bit too thick for its relatively small size which normally would be perfect for my smaller wrists. What do you think, should I buy a reduced again?

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Thanks Mathieu! I'm afraid I've never had the pleasure of wearing a fois. What kind of bracelet do you have on it? I've seen a mesh one that looks quite good and might give it some hefty to balance it out. The fois still a more "serious" speedy but you can't argue with the fit of the reduced 👍

[@MathieuVuylsteke]

@@WatchCrunchOfficial I have an Omega 1125 bracelet on it which is really nice and matches the vintage look. Only downside is that the bracelet is completely brushed while the fois has some polished edges and you clearly notice the bracelet wasn't meant for the watch although the endlinks fit perfectly. I know uncle seiko and Forstner make some amazing bracelets for this (especially the latter has a really true to the past flat link bracelet)

[@kennylu8428]

Keep ‘em all! Great video again. I knew about Marui but not the Mitsukoshi dial, very interesting! Now looking at the bracelet of 1861 it’s definitely less sophisticated than the one with 3861. With the reduced, have you had to bring it over to Nesbit and get it serviced? I’m curious if it’d cost more than professional. Cheers!

Thanks Kenny! Yes the reduced would be an extra couple hundred to service unfortunately

I've never been attracted to the speedmaster (or chronos for that matter) but yesterday I tried on the new model at the AD an just wow. what a cool watch! and it sits pretty well in my small 16.5 cm wrist (albeit a touch big). now I'm really considering getting one! 👍

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Yeah my problem exactly, the pro was always too big, but I didn't realize how much was in the bracelet!

[@vgcamara]

@@WatchCrunchOfficial yes! the bracelet design is great. would love to see more brands use female end links. I think I'll be skipping on this one finally, while the antimagnetism and coaxial movement are great specs, it's a bit expensive for what it is imo. great watch nonetheless!

Yes it has to be seen in the flesh. The dial is just beautiful. Bracelet so comfortable. If you pick hesalite, get a super thin 0.1mm soft self healing TPU film... no more scratches and polishing. Best regards

[@biriyaniiii]

Hi Max, As a first watch purchase would you recommend the Speedmaster reduced or the Black Bay 36 where the BB would be brand new and the reduced from the used market? They cost roughly the same where the BB 36 probably is around $ 400 more. Appreciate your thoughts!

[@watchound.bernardo9738]

Great video. The Speedmaster Reduced was my first "luxury" watch, bought 20 years ago at the AD. I was young and the nice sales guy must have shown the watch a dozen times before it could afford it. It was the right size, almost 17cm wrist, and budget options at the time. I built a great collection after that but kept trying the professional moonwatch over the years and it felt bulky with those protruding end-links. Not the 3861, it is spot on. I have a sapphire version on hold at the AD but can't seem to take the plunge. Is it a step forward or backward? Is it going to be reminiscent of getting the reduced 20 years ago, or a renovated experience? Is this the goldilocks Speedmaster? Anyway, watch enthusiast intricacies. Cheers watch gang.

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

I feel like the new 3861 is a refinement instead of a departure, so I would certainly choose that over the reduced money no object 👍

That’s really a tough one… I have quite a large wrist and I like big watches, so I’m not afraid by the size of the Speedmaster Professional. However, I just can’t stand manual winding, I just have too much ADHD to remember to wind it regularly. I come from a digital background, so I really need a watch that will keep working as long as I’m wearing it. That’s why I tend to prefer Automatic watches… but the Reduced is smaller, I just wish they would have a Professional that looks just like it does now, but with an automatic movement… that’s it, that would be perfect for me. I’m afraid that if I buy a Reduced, I will always think that I didn’t got the big brother watch.

It's a cool watch, wish it had a hesalite version. Sapphire speedies don't do it for me.

I like the special edition broad arrow the most, however I would not buy that watch. I would always go for the original design combined with new features, such as the open and better movement in the latest model.

The moment I tried on the Pro I knew it wasn’t for me. I’ll be going reduced.

If you have a special edition, that has to be the clearly winner. The new bracelet ads more charisma to it. Bit if you're new in this collecting business, the new 3861 gives you more than any previous versions except the special editions.

To me it’s the Pro all the way! Why go for anything less when you can have the “one” and since you already own it it’s not even a question of being able to afford it!

[@WatchCrunchOfficial]

Very true, the pro is the one and done deal.

@@WatchCrunchOfficial yeah! 🙂
