Wearing the 3510.50 for the last few mos....
In Response To: Speedmaster Reduced, 3510.50 ()

It's on my wrist right now. Looks great. Brushed and polished bracelet compliments the case and face nicely. THis watch looks even better on a thick, black leather strap with white contrast stitching. This watch is somewhat larger than the midsize SMP. IMHO, it is an ideal size.

This is one of the best sub $1K watches around (MSRP is 1450 or so, but it is readily available from greymarketeers for around 900 (+ or - 50$). I found mine on super discount at the big grey marketeer just before they changed hands. Serial numbers in tact.

If you really want the PRO, but you think that you'll be satisfied with the Reduced... you won't.
If you like the Reduced all by itself, then go for it. It's a great watch and well worth the money.

I will tell you that band/clasp feel light and rattle-y compared with the SMP. Just bear in mind that they are designed for different uses and therefore constructed differently. FYI: The band/clasp feel about as sturdy as the one on my 16 year old Rolex AK. The AK band has not failed me and doesnot give any indication that it will in the future.
