I agree, but I was setting the bar really low.
Not "would I buy this watch with the hard earned money I've been saving for a vintage Siffert (hint hint)?"
But "would I wear it if I won it as a door prize?"
Sure, I'd rather have a real one than a reissue. But the reissues are very nice watches and I could understand why someone would want one.
In the vintage inspired dept, the blackface Monacos are very slick in a Man in Black (Johnny Cash, not Wil Smith) kind of way. And the modern Monza is just about as attractive as any Heuer ever. ( but why exactly is that bottom register round?)
But some of these other modern TAGs? Ugh. Rolex never made anything that fugly.
I guess I've got an awful lot of opinions for a guy who doesn't actually own a Heuer. (Yet?)
