You know that you can multi-quote and edit your posts, right? No need to triple post when you're essentially saying the same thing in all three posts.
The hate for the Reduced comes from the fact that it's not a real mechanical chronograph movement, it's a modular one. It's not even a 7750, which is available in watches much lower grade than Omega. At least, that's where my hate comes from.
The 27 CHRO 12 (Lemania 2310, Omega 321, later the 861 and 1861 currently used) is a very historic movement, and one that's been used by many iconic watch manufactures like Breguet, Patek Philippe, and Vacheron Constantin. It's an extremely reliable movement for something developed and produced with very small changes since the 40s.
The Speedmaster Pro is the Porsche 911 of the watch world. Most people want one at some point, and the Reduced is the Boxster.
