Maybe the found out that the good old ones are difficult to be beaten. You always tend to compare the re-edition version with the old ones and I have rarely seen one that beats the original version. In a way that makes sense. Somebody who appreciated the old version always has its reasons for that. A particular shape, colour, hands etc etc. Once you start changing that, your total perception changes. The typical features which you like so much about the old ones will be slightly changed. E.g. take the Monaco 1133. It has its very typical combination of a square design with roundish and squarish features. The new one has much more roundish features. Nothing wrong with that. It may fit today's target group's expectations/ fashion better. To us Heuer lovers however it is just not "it".

What do you think about this theory?
