[Omega Speedmaster Reduced] Any advice before buying one for a non-expert? (alien.top)

Hi folks. Relatively new to the watch scene but I am really keen on a speedmaster reduced (3510.50). Looking for some friendly advice on things to consider or check before purchasing. The price is $2900 (£2350). I've heard they are extremely expensive to service, so I guess finding out when the last service was would be a first step. I've also seen a bit of debate on Reddit about them being common. This is not a concern for me. Thanks!

Personally, I'd think twice about it and wait a little longer before deciding. I get the appeal of the smaller size, but the original is iconic, and that aesthetic does not hold for the reduced. The proportions are totally different, it's not half the watch that the original is. There's a reason they are so much cheaper.

Yeah but if the original is too big, then it's no good for that person
