What are the differences between the entry level Speedmasters and the more expensive Speedmasters, such as the Speedmaster Professional? I have two Speedmasters - the Speedie Racing and a two-tone Speedie Triple Date - both considerably less that $5k, while some of the higher end Speedmasters are north of $10k. Are there technical differences bewteen the various Speedmasters, or is the price differences based on demand?

You need to be more specific.
But it seems your talking about the 7750 based 39mm watches vs the 42mm hand wound watches.

In general, the price differences are based on marketing.

The entry-level Speedmaster, like yours and my 3513.53, are reduced size with 7750-based movements which are automatic. The higher-end Speedmasters are the larger, manual wound pieces that resemble the actual watches that went to the moon. That’s why they are more expensive and in-demand.
