I’ve now seen a few re-issues released since I’ve started collecting and have also stumbled over some good and not so good reissues. In the light of the up coming Baselworld and a dream reissue potentially released- (Arnie) What would you re-issue and why. Feel free to share your thoughts on any hits or misses as well. If Arnie wasn’t on the rumor mills this would be my choice.   It has a very unique shape and despite its name (poor mans MAS) I don’t think it really shares much apart from the hand set and dial. It is a very well balanced watch aesthetically. It has a low height profile, a very clear and inviting dial and bezel combo and the coin edge bezel suits the nostalgia of the 60’s and 70’s sports divers. |

The PM62MAS is a might fine watch, Cam. Can I request it be reissued in a 40mm case, or are case size changes heresy?

God there are loads! High up on my list would be a proper sushi-roll range and a decent mech world timer 6217. And of course a proper range of mech 6138's and 6139's. I could go on...

I agree. There are loads of amazing examples of ladies watches that could be reissued In a 40-44mm that would satisfy many a collector. |

Yes sir I'd be down for a PM62MAS reissue for sure.
And the Sushi Roll was in fact re-issued. 7S36 offering a few year's back. Forget the reference number and too tired to Google it.

I wouldn’t mind a navigator timer (6117-8000) reissue If they did no doubt it would be too large. :-( |

I think we may need to re-nickname that 7005. With people asking $800-$1000 for these, they ain't exactly for the po' folk anymore! 
I think the 7S36s you are referring to were part of the SBSS series, and were made from 1997-1998. Oh, my God...that was OVER 20 YEARS AGO.  |

Exactly what I was thinking. I’d love nice 3 o’clock crown diver from Seiko. |

HiBeat I’ve been looking into the pm62mas. It looks the poor mans reference is more like calling the 7548 the poor mans tuna. Both watches 62mas & 7005 were available in a similar time period and shared a similar dial hand set and had a rotational bezel. There was a noticeable price difference when the slang reference was termed.

7c43-6020, mini Tuna at 42mm. I’d like upgrades of a stainless shroud instead of the plastic and an automatic movement. Keeping it at 42mm is key though.  |
