What a collection! The first watch, the red Speedmaster, is it too loud? I love the way it looks but kind of feel like it's a bit too much for everyday wear. I'd love to have one though.
Wow! What an incredible and fun collection. That gold Speedy Shumacher is amazing. Enjoy them.
I thought I read that these Speedmasters were more prone to issues and that the service costs can get very expensive. Or am I mistaken?
I googled searched and got this answer: Omega Speedmaster Reduced (and Triple Date models like the MK40) uses modular movements (like the ETA 2892 base with a DD 2000 or Valjoux 7750-derived module), which are indeed harder and more costly to service than the integrated movements of the Speedmaster Professional
, often requiring specialized watchmakers or sending it back to Omega due to the complexity of servicing the stacked chrono module, leading to higher repair bills.
I may have misread your post. My point was that while the movement used in the Reduced (and only the Reduced) uses a module, the others don’t and are fully integrated chronographs. I included the 3303 since it was also used in some Schumacher models shown earlier. The Reduced does indeed have servicing complications but the Triple Date despite its apparent complexity does not.
I honestly think these are very underrated.
I love mine:
As with all Omegas I have a love-hate relationship with the OEM bracelets: love the feel, don't care for the rounded look the give the watch.
Thank god there are great aftermarket options out there.
