I like it too - and I sign up on John's point: reissues do not have to be carbon-copies of originals but simply be inspired in a graceful way.
I've been wearing the watch that is the TAG Heuer reissue to me, i.e. the Carrera 1964 re-edition ref. CS3110, for the past couple of months.
It's definitely different from the original - no "Carrera" moniker on the dial, and more spread out subdials and pushers than the original 2447. Yet it does capture the feeling to me - and it helped introduce the design and the brand to a whole new set of people such as me.
Furthermore we should not discount the importance of affordability: how many people can really get a 2446 now? Very few I think - surely not me, not even by a mile...
So something so close will definitely be welcome.
Having said that, what I agree not to like: the missing minute hashes on the minute subdial and the "Heuer 02" text on the running seconds subdial. Hopefully, they might reconsider about the former, and the latter is no deal-breaker to me.
Cheers.
