Vintage vs Modern reissue

Post your Vintage watch reissue or re-interpretation with a side by side photo of a Vintage original; or vice-versa ๐Ÿ‘. We can nerd out on them by commenting on the pictures!

Here's my modern OW P-104 with its original inspiration; the Selectron Computer ๐Ÿ˜€. I'm still after a Vintage example for myself.

My vintage Speedmaster Mark II Racing Dial from โ€˜71 and the modern reissue. While Omega did some things well on the modern version, like the case and bracelet, the dial doesnโ€™t capture the charm of the original IMHO.ย

What an amazing Vintage piece โŒš๐Ÿ˜ƒ! Your right, the reissue is nice but that date window and sunken subdials do take some of that Original charm away ๐Ÿ˜„. Nonetheless, both are great pieces ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™Œ.

Thanks. The movements are also both interesting too, but Iโ€™ll take the early 861 over the coaxial automatic all day long. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Lemania foundation also makes the 861 extra special. I find it is one of the most refined and beautiful CAM system chronograph movements ๐Ÿ‘Œ.

I never get tired of looking at pictures of that movement, very esthetically pleasing. Congrats on that great looking chrono ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’™โŒš!
