I really like some of the re-issues:
The 3-dial is a default daily watch if I'm not wearing vintage, the MOP dial is a dress watch and the Jack Heuer 1964 is my favourite re-issue, I think they really had their design mojo working that day (i.e. they pretty much copied a 70s Carrera dial!). But I wouldn't have bought any of them if I didn't already have vintage watches. There's just something extra about the vintage watches that makes them seem less of a commodity (back then marketing was more in its infancy watch wise and seemingly more innocent), and wearing them can be more rewarding.
So my vote is for vintage too. Of course, then the problem becomes stopping at one... Cal 15 Monza, chrome case Monza, hmmm the Monza dial I like is pretty similar to these 70s Carreras...and so on!
