I'd go for the Heuer if not for the size. I feel 35mm is a bit too small for my wrist. If you are ok with the 35mm size, go for it. Otherwise the 42mm speedy.

I would go for the Tag as it’s a beautiful watch. Don’t get me wrong, I love the speedy. It’s just the aesthetics and size of the Tag that makes it more special. Size isn’t everything. I have a fellow watch enthusiast moving from 47mm PAMs back to 40mm Rolexes. The biggest that I have is a 44mm PAM and the smallest, a 34mm vintage GS. I love them all and if you wear a lot of shirts and ties, the smaller the watch the better.

Get the Tag. I have the reduce - as the name suggest, it lacks something

Between these 2, will defo go for the Tag as its more prominent on the wrist as compared to the reduced speed. the speedy somehow looks better in 42mm

For me, I prefer Tag. Its simple, nice and grand. You can wear any time anywhere. You can go for it ... xD

Do you have to get it New ?

If otherwise, get the speedy at a good price then upgrade into a full fledge Speedy in the future !  :thumbsup:

I would go for Tag too. service is not that expensive. Polishing cost about RM3xx which i feel reasonable

Better get the Tag. For speedmaster , moon watch is the one you go for, not the reduced. Just my opinion, you can go for any watch of course.

I will go for the Tag for the classic looks. I always have concerns on Speedy Reduced's piggyback movement. I read that Omega will just replaced the whole movement instead of servicing it, what if it is completely obsoleted one day.

Brand wise Omega > Tag, but in this case I will go for the Carrera, it’s perhaps the most beautiful range from Tag.

Definitely the Carrera. If wanna buy speedmaster, I rather save up and get a Moonwatch. Reduced just didn't nail it for me.

Heuer for me. I agree with opinions above that you should get the full ver of speedy instead of the reduced !

The carrera....or stretch the budget for the moonwatch if possible. then the moonwatch for sure.

Tag !!!!
for super classic look and lemania movement

I've not monitored the pre-own market for Tag's but the Reduced prices have been slowly picking up the last two years - due to its price point and size. I'm personally not a big fan of early co-axial movements due to an expensive repair experience - I'd go for the Omega FOIS is you're look for the 38mm size, plus its the solid 1861 movement

Speedy reduced for me all the way  ;)

Personally, it would be the Speedy reduced. I love the whole bit of history on your wrist thing and I think it edges out the Carrera in this case. It's just instantly recognizable. But to be honest, can't go wrong with either.
