Icon5 Speedmaster 'reduced' 3510.50 questions

This thread is about: 2000’S OMEGA SPEEDMASTER REDUCED 3510.50.

What will be a good market price for a piece like this in very good condition, no box or papers? Also, what are the cons of this watch? I could care less about it being a "moonwatch." I have a smaller wrist, and I'm looking for a chrono to add to my collection.

Would like to put it on a NATO. Anything else I need to know? Experiences with watch, pics etc. welcomed.

Thanks in advance.

Movement (chronograph module) can be tricky to service (but no issues if you get factory service), and the sub dial layout looks a bit "spaced out". Bracelet options are limited in that it's 18mm, so you can't attach other speedy bracelets - but it looks great on a strap anyway.

Otherwise, it's great! :) (I have a 3510.52 - reverse panda dial.)

I bought one over a year ago because of the smaller size (and my small wrists). It didn't do anything for me so I traded it for a Seamaster. Than, another one came up for sale at a good price ($1100) and I went ahead and bought it. I don't know why, but this latest one really feels good and I have been wearing it a lot lately! I think it was because I took it off it's bracelet and put on a "rally" style black strap.

Ebay seems to be running the prices kind of high, I picked up mine for about $600 less then what they have been asking. I would check Watchrecon and look for a price around $1100-$1300, they can be found!

I wore one for almost 10 years before I got the Daytona. It's a great watch. It kept great time and looks great. I think it's one of the Speedmaster variants that stays closer to the original than most others.

^ Yeah, $1100-$1300 usd is good price range for these. I have had mine 3 years - it is my favorite watch over my others: Seamaster, Steinhart OVM, HEXA diver, Seiko SARB Cocktail Time, etc. Works great, looks great.

anyone interested in turning your 3510 into a Poor Man's 6263? i have a few 3510.21 dial and hands available if anyone has any interest. these dials came on the 3510.21, which was a Speedy Reduced only available in the Marui department stores in Japan. they are fairly rare.

Have you reached out to any of the trusted sellers here or checked out the For Sale forum? You could also post in Want to Buy.

I found several just searching the web.

Good luck!

Didnt know these existed. Mitsukoshi conversion on the speedy pro is very popular but Marui on a reduced is also a looker.
