    Heritage Re-issue watches. What are your favourites?

    I am a sucker for a bit of vintage vibe, especially with dive watches. The whole vintage re-issue trend has been steaming along for several years now with several smashing success stories. So what have been the watches that have absolutely hit the ball out of the park with their re-issue? Are there some that haven't been a success? Why or why not. Will the trend continue?

    Being totally self indulgent, I'm nomintaing the Oris 65 first up. I love mine.

    For me.. as someone that always wish to have some cool diver and since i always love Seiko... SLA017 is my current unicorn.. the grail that i can only dream since it is very hard to get.
    its the reissue of 62MAS.. sub 40mm and made to be enjoy for good..
    if i can only have ONE Seiko.. this would be IT.

    The Longines Legend Diver is a great reissue. I sold mine because the lug to lug was too much for my small wrists but I still think I'd like another one

    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    I'm positive there are numerous superb reissues I am not aware of but I am certainly a fan of the Omega 1957 Seamaster reissue.
