But bulky in terms of height (not to mention mabigat din) kasi tignan ng 7002 kaya mas nagmukhang maliit yung Speedy Pro sa actual size. Or sa kamay ko lang siguro yun kasi my arms are on the pre-bulky side na ata.
That's a great analogy to be honest. For me kasi, if I were to buy a Reduced, I'd rather buy other watch/es. Parang something is "lacking" sa Reduced. Siguro nga the analogy of 911/Boxster will apply here. I also know some people din kasi who've regretted buying the Reduced. They said that they should've went straight na sana.
But really, buy what speaks to your heart. "Traditional" watch buyer kasi ako. I like watches that have "heritage"

Agree bro, malaki kasi crown ng 7002 and I think divers look better proportioned when they're slightly big rather than slightly small.
I'm not at that life stage yet where I can forgo practicality and go straight to the Pro. I'm on the fence about spending 3x as much for the heritage. Originally I was eyeing just a vintage Carrera but I saw the Speedy auto and it was cheaper. I see it as a better buy than getting a Hamilton or Oris at this price point.
Anyway, I'm not looking to buy anytime soon (not this year if I can control it) but it's nice to daydream. 😂

the speedy... an everyday-and-anyday watch with provenance! equally at home with adidas or with florsheim.

Vintage Carrera is ok too if you like something subtle in your hands. Not flashy but will receive praise/command respect from people especially to those people who knows the watch world. Oris Aquis and Big Pilot are very ok (actually these two are on my watch bucket list ).
Since you are open to the used watch market, i suggest that you must also check Tag Heuer Aqua Racer/Carrera. There are lots of varieties to choose from and used Tags are usually great valued watches. I'm pretty sure mapabili ka na ng maaga niyan.

The Carrera is a strong contender since it's in the same price range as the Speedy Reduced. I was leaning towards the Speedy because at the end of the day, it's still an Omega.
I also tried the newer 41mm Carrrera before, too big for me. The older 39mm seems to be perfect, so I would really go for a vintage Carrera if I ever go that route. Pass on the Aquaracer since I prefer chronos over divers.
Sure, we can say the Speedy Reduced is just a stepping stone to the Pro - but I can always sell it and upgrade in the future (assuming of course I can take the size of the Pro). I don't think I'll be a hardcore collector - I just want a few decent pieces in my rotation.

Yeah I don't think any watch can come close to the historical significance of the Speedy Pro. That's also one of my must haves if I win the lotto.
Speedy reduced is no slouch though. And a lot more convenient for daily use as you don't need to wind it. I agree with "buy what speaks to you". 🖒
