Brian, regarding resistance in the crown, there is variability across individual examples of the Speedmaster Pro. The best way to avoid the problem is to check the resistance in the actual watch you're about to purchase. I feel like I should re-post here the advice from my reply on the first page of this thread:
"Important: when purchasing, either wind the movement yourself, or if needed ask the seller to wind the movement and confirm that the crown twists easily enough on the actual watch that will be your watch. For some reason, the occasional Speedmaster Pro will have excessive resistance to twisting the crown, and for some folks this spoils the joy of owning and wearing it.
I think it's just seals that cause this (I've had other models from Omega and Rolex that felt this way), but it's a real, um, drag if you get one like this (sorry for the pun)."
