Re: Nothing would motivate me to buy one....

: Sadly, TH have failed to recognise the importance of being faithful
: to heritage, whilst Breitling have followed Omega (and Yema's)
: lead in how to do reissues properly....

My thoughts echo Colin’s exactly. They are doing it properly for the most part and keeping it interesting. Perhaps a 1000 series or 844 reissue would change my mind. I love the Omega and Yema examples, and not just the watches but how they chose to do it. They didn’t choose to do it by diluting a perfectly good name when they have an expansive catalog of model lines to build upon.

I may be a bit biased though. ;)
