Same watch, they put more accessories in a bigger box and increase the price. My vote is for SMP if you have only one. I had the Schumi but sold it and kept the SMP.

That's what it looked like happened, but I couldn't tell for sure.

Thank you!

Also the bracelet has changed from pins to screws on the new reference. Apart from that the bracelet and watch is the same.

That's a pretty big plus, but if I buy new, I will probably buy it on a leather strap. I'd keep it on leather in the winter, and rubber/nato in the summer. That way I can take it into the pool, or do some stuff around the house without worrying about the bracelet getting hit.

You might want to think twice before taking a Speedy into a pool. Especially the 3570.50.

I read several old threads on this topic, and it seems like it can take my "chilling in the pool with a beer" water requirements.

When you mentioned not wanting to harm bracelet by it getting hit, it sounded like more than chillin with a beer. I still wouldn't take a Speedy in a pool, but to each their own.

I love my January 1969 145.022-69. Sure, I'd love an earlier one, but I think I found the sweet spot between heritage and price, with this one. I'm the second owner. I have no interest in a newer Speedmaster than this one. Here is a pic of it on its bracelet. In the warmer months, I wear it on a Heuerville rallye strap, which I really enjoy.
