vintage vs re-issue

i´m am newby in the Heuer-watches. (my dialy watch is SMP 300 auto)
I´m planning on bying a Carrera, looks as a great watch to me, read te articles of Chuck (great!)
The problem is wich one to get?
I have seen a vintage, suppose late 60, black dial en 3 sub dials, cal 72 for 1650 euro en a 98 reissue (1998) for 1450 euro silver dial. Although I like the looks of the reissue more, it just seems not the real deal, if you know what I mean.
Please some advise: what are the experiences with the vintage, can it be a daily wearer?
How about the fake-feeling of the re issue?
Thanks
Ralph
