    What watch would you like to see reissued

    On a less controversial subject than my last post :) (searched on previously posted subjects to avoid antagonising the easily bored :twisted: )
    Are there any watches that you would like to see reissued? (try to avoid Rolex if at all possible :lol: )

    IWC Flieger 3706 - I cannot find one anywhere in the UK and the replacement 'pilots watch classic' is a poor substitute :cry:

    The 60s/early 70s model was a ground-breaking very stylish design which seems to be very popular amongst both retro fashion lovers and collectors. I have 3 at the moment so it's fair to say I like them.

    Not sure I`d like to see either re-issued. Both would have to be bigger than original (to suit the ridiculous current trend towards big watches) and both would need to carry silly price tags to fit the currrent Omega marketing strategy.

    Maybe the 1950s Omega Constellation with pie-pan dial could be a candidate?

    I'll add the Breitling Premier to that. And give that one a tobacco brown dial as well.

    Additionally from IWC I'd love to see the 3 of the Porsche Design Titanium watches again. The 1978 Chronograph, the Ultra Sportivo & the Ocean 2000. IMHO the current PD products are a bit fussy & no way near as classy.

    The trouble with reissues is they are always a bit wrong, a bit messed up. :roll:

    Re: What watch would you like to see reissued

    I agree with Neil C., generally the re-issue does not hold a candle to the original. However I am looking forward to the PloProf re-edition & I love my Speedy '57 Re-Edition. Saying that though, I would also like to see the single pusher Lemania Chrono ..

    Vulcain Cricket, but the simple original designs and not the ugly reeditions.
    Or a plain and simple Omega memomatic:

    I can't keep it to just one:

    a) Omega Seamaster 1000;

    b) Anything with a Lemania 5100 movement.

    +2, I would love one only thing remotely like it on the market is the Oris titanium divers but their design is nothing like as pure and clean.

    Longines Weems in a larger size. Not huge, just a more modern 38-40mm.

    Rolex Explorer 1016, from about the 1980's. It would give the hoarders something to think about!

    +1 for the Omega 1945 Cal. 30T2SCrg. Though at the price Omega would be charging I doubt it would have effect on my watch collection.

    Its the shape of the case, and case back that seems similar to me. The way the lugs come straight out of the case is also a bit like the Ocean 2000 but it isn't as clean looking as the integrated bracelet / lug design on the Ocean 2000. Its the blingy bits on the Oris that ruin it for me, I know some ppl will feel some blingy bits lift a Ti watch but not for me. Of course the bezel is a big glaring difference but perhaps one of the things on the Ocean 2000 that puts ppl off is the lack of minute markers.

    Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris.

    Yes, I know they have already, but I'd like them to reissue the reissue so I could stand a chance of getting on the list :)

    Omega 600m PloProf but true to the original and not made to look contemporary.
