Had a Reduced and FOIS in the past... they had their merits and downsides.
As an investment - nope. Not going to help me in my retirement! I just love Speedmasters!
I presently have a Hesalite Sandwich Professional 3752.50 with a 1863 movement which I adore.
Depends if you want a dressy (FOIS) or tool (Professional) like look.
I would go for a recent 1861 as there has been a few negative rumblings about the 3861.
The money saved can go towards a few straps for this 'Strap Monster'!
