i found on a google search a reference to a red dial speedmaster, possibly a reduced case size. It may have been made for the Japanese market. Does such an item exist; does anyone have any info (or pics) of this watch? thanks.

Two words... "Crayola Schumacher"...
The 1996 ST 175.0032 Speedmaster Automatic "Racing", leather strap, red dial version (175.0032.R00; PIC 3810.61) or yellow dial (...J00; PIC 3810.12) is listed in Marco Richon's Speedmaster table which I host an version of on my site. This watch was one of at least Four of the "Crayola Schumachers" named for the crayon like color of their dials: Yellow, Red, Blue, Blue (with CART logo); Eight versions if you count the strap and bracelet versions separately. To my knowledge they never offered a Green Dial version (which would seem to me to be then next most logical color to offer). This watch was based on the Speedmaster Reduced movement and case with the only real differences being the dial and hands.

Hope this helps.
