Greetings! For sale here is an Omega Speedmaster Automatic/Reduced Racing Limited Edition 3517.30. This watch was release to commemorate Michael Schumacher's 2000 World Championship, with his signature engraved in the case back, and was limited to 4000 pieces. The example for sale here is numbered 3536/4000.

Conditions:
Movement: Really the highlight of this example. Many people are hesitant of getting a Speedy Reduced due to the difficulties of servicing. While I don't know when this watch was serviced, it is currently running better than any of my recently (within a year) serviced watches at:
