It depends what you mean by Schumacer and Regular.
In Response To: Speedmaster Schumacher? ()

I would consider the regular Speedmaster to be the Speedmaster professional, which is a manual wind Lemania 1861 movement in a case slightly larger than the automatics.

Depending on which ads you had seen, the Schumacher Speedmasters are either the 7751 based automatics, like the one with the blue and black 24H dial, or the 2892/module automatics in the bright colors (red, yellow, blue.) In either case, these obviously use different movements than the "regular" Speedmaster, and are somewhat smaller and thicker. They also have sapphire crystals whereas the original is plastic.

In terms of collectibility, the Moonwatch/Speedmaster Professional definitely wins. If you're interested in bang for the buck, though, both types of the automatics seem to me to offer pretty good value.
