I take a slightly different view on this. I've got three different speed masters, largest 43mm, smallest 39mm (this so-called Reduced).
The reduced is 39mm, though omega website lists it as 35mm. In practice, it wears very well on my 6.75inch wrists, and the bracelet links are shorter, so it wraps nicely and I get a very nicely centered clasp. It is my favorite speedy.
I'm into the hand-winding moon watch thing, but this Reduced appeals in a different way. Firstly, it is thin, at slightly less than 12mm. Secondly, it is auto, which I like. I tend to leave my chrono running when the watch is worn, so being auto is a great bonus for me. Thirdly, it has an acrylic crystal (like the moon watch), which is attractive to me both aesthetically and ideologically.
The Reduced is discontinued, beats at a higher frequency, and apparently the market prices are rather attractive. If you have the funds, why not?

Yah Loh. Best is to own both eventually.
Sell watch, you back from Korea? Were you caught in the floods?

the problem with the auto chrono is that its not a true chrono , but a module slapped onto a eta auto
servicing is more difficult and costly , cos most of the time the entire module is replaced then reattached
next thing the pusher and crown isnt aligned one for such a movement
