What would you choose?

I'd definitely take the modern watch, it will be better made and less likely to have issues.

I voted the new, just because the display looks a bit larger. If they are the same size and brightness I would go original. Node to diminishing eye sight.

Pulsar is the real deal. That other one isn't even set using a little magnet. What a gyp.

Unless you have tons of money and a lot of patience, go with the modern.

I think the modern version is outrageously priced…at least for me.

As much as I hate the Swatch group homaging and taking credit for a design that they never developed, bought or owned, the modern homage is the better choice, imho.

I'd go modern. Not dissing on vintage watch collectors but for me I don't think I'm equipped to care for a vintage watch's maintainance or their sensitivity to magnetic fields or their non existant WR. Brrr!

For vintage, I usually got for a modern reissue. But not for digital. They actually last forever. There are quartz watches from the 60's that still run great. Only need battery change. So I would go original for that true vintage feel.

Vintage digital? Don’t do it… just don’t do that to yourself. Go modern for this each and every.

I agree 100% with @Porthole. The problem with electronics is that when they go wrong (and they will inevitably go wrong) you can't troubleshoot them in the same way as you can something mechanical. Either that or I'm just technologically inept. I only know how to switch something on and off again to hopefully solve whatever problem it may have. A machine with several parts is usually easier to diagnose with a problem and easier to fix, because they are governed by physics (which I have a slight grasp on) and not software and imaginary electronic pixies (which make me cry.)

It's 100% the PSR for me.

I am going to buy a PSR this week, but as soon I found a Pulsar P2 I will buy it too.

P.S. They are super rare… I have been contacting hundreds of people and keeping reserching every day for the past month and I still can’t find one…

I have an original from 1978. The cool thing about mine is, if you shake your wrist it activates the screen. So, you don’t have to have a free hand to turn it on.

Wow!!! Do you have any photos of it?

I hope you find one! I'd also advise looking around for a sort of specialist who deals in those types of watches; there might be one on this platform. Vintage electronics can be temperamental things, so it's best to have a number to call if things go South.

And I am also an appreciator of having a rare watch. All the best on your search!

Ok… “they are super rare” is another red flag.

With rare vintage you have the triumvirate of lack of parts, lack of donors, lack of expertise. I appreciate how appealing the watch might be to you, but if it bricks and you can’t repair it, welcome to the suck.

I don’t want to be a killjoy, but unless you’ve factored in the pain, I’d stick with the modern.

Bracelet could use some soap and water. I have the box and everything. This one does not set with a magnet.

Incredible watch 🤯🔥🔥🔥

Thanks 🥰
