10 Watches We Want Reissued: Tudor, Bulova, Rolex, Invicta, Seiko, Longines, Fortis & More

- After a brief hiatus, today I'm joined by watch expert and entrepreneur Marc Frankel of Long Island Watch for a fun #WatchTalk episode featuring 10 watches we'd like to see reissued-plus a few honorable mentions. Following a few recent watch releases causing quite a stir in the watch world-principally the Tudor Ranger 39mm and Seiko Sports 5 GMT for 2022-we put together a list of 10 watches we think brands should reissue for their fans and fellow watch enthusiasts. In this video we delve into the reasons behind our desire to see these watches on the market once again, including some personal motivations, like my nostalgic and sentimental attachment to the Citizen Eagle 7, a 1980s homage to the Rolex Day-Date and Datejust. We also discuss our thoughts on the recent Richard Mille for Ferrari RM UP-01, the greatest GMT ever made by Bulova and Accutron, the only way Fortis watches will compete with Omega Speedmasters, and one of the most influential and underrated Longines watches co-designed by legendary World War 2 navigator P.V.H Weems. We then take a look at the iconic multimillion dollar auctioned Marlon Brando Rolex GMT Pepsi 1675, long lost classics from Invicta (including a bygone surfboard style chronograph) as well as the high beat Kingline, a watch from the golden age of Zodiac. Naturally, this watch talk episode wouldn't be complete without a segment on Seiko, so we discuss why we think Seiko should celebrate their ball head invention by bringing it back, along with the Pogue-their most iconic chronograph of all time. Which watches would you like to see reissued? Please share in the comments!

Personally, I think it's a big mistake not to see Top Gun: Maverick at the theater! It's definitely a big screen experience you'll regret not seeing with the full cinema experience! The aerial cinematography is absolutely stunning!
Yes I saw it at the cinema and also the sound and surround sound adds a lot also
If theres one film since star wars in 1977 that really must be experienced in a cinema, its top gun maverick. 🙂
@@laurencehogg6010 Interstellar ?
@@toinhat5399 Nah... I watched that on blu ray and I'm glad I did. I had to pause it every 10 mins to think about it. 🤣
@@laurencehogg6010 Inception?
Mark, congratulations on learning to fly! I got my PPL back in 1993! I’ve been flying ever since! I wear a Hamilton Khaki Navy GMT when I fly. It’s just so legible. Great subject today too!!! Love your collabs they’re superb. TGV, I live in North London and fly out of Elstree Aerodrome, if you’re in the UK, you’re welcome to join me for a fly. I’ll take off and land and you can do the bit in the middle! I know you’re going to mention it but I would so love a reissue of a Pogue! Cmon Seiko! Make it happen!
Absolutely perfect timing with this upload, TGV! After a long day at work there's nothing like settling in for an hourlong discussion between you and Marc. My pick is definitely the Rolex Space Dweller. Although I know that if it were reissued, prices would quickly shoot into the stratosphere and no one would actually be able to even buy one.
I suppose if you want the nearest thing you could look into the Tudor Ranger. I am thinking about getting one myself. I've seen a lot of negativity online around it, but when I saw one in person, I loved it.
Excellent, it is once again my favorite time of the month; the time where we get to enjoy a chat between two amazing watch people. Thanks for the continued amazing content.
Also, is there any way to support the channel? Patreon? Memberships?
Thank you so much my friend. Very kind of you for the gracious offer. At the moment, comments, likes and just having you watching is the best way. However I will look into the membership thing, I'm not sure how it works. Have you had any experience with it?
Best regards,
TGV
@@theurbangentry Yessir, I have memberships engaged on my channel. The way it works is you create the tier(s) that you want which is just the amounts of money you want people to be able to pledge to your channel, and then you add the perks for each tier. If there are no perks, then I think that's fine as well, the supporters will still have a little tag next to their name in the comments.
As far as the money split, it is 70% creator, 30% RUclips, so not the best split out there (Patreon is generally 90/10 if I remember correctly).
Just something to consider because I enjoy your content and wouldn't mind throwing some money your way on a recurring monthly basis. Thanks for the continued enjoyable content. Cheers.
@@Podcastage Thank you for this, this helps me understand it a lot, especially coming from such a professional RUclips like you! I am going to discuss this with my business partner. Very much appreciated, onwards and upwards my friend!
As a vintage Seiko Bullhead owner...great 1st pick Marc 😁. But it's also comfortable to wear and i still use mine for timing (exercise routines).
Awesome, man. It's a sweet watch. Hope they bring it back soon.
Totally agree on the Weems. I've got a left-field suggestion: watches I'd like to see reissued are from the microbrands who create an appetite but then don't satisfy it because they make limited runs and then move on to a new design. I suppose though they are creating rare, future classics.
The Dynamic Duo strike again. Giving us fun content filled with history and variety. Compete opposite of every other watch channel that is obsessed with presenting the same watches/brand. Thanks!
Yes! I missed this! Can’t wait to watch when I get home. Thankyou TGV and Mark for these they literally make my day, I usually watch them 3 times haha
Bring back the Pogue! Affordable chrono by Seiko would be awesome
I be extremely down for a Seiko Commander Pogue recreation. It be a INSTANT PURCHASE!. I hope we do get it eventually and automatic like the original. I don't even mind if it's a little pricey
Reissues are never affordable
1. Cool video, fun as always, fully agree on 36mm as a perfect watch size.
2. Love the Ranger too!
3.Weems formed a partnership called Weems & Plath to make navigation instruments. They are still around, and most blue water sailors use their dividers in plotting on paper charts.
Citizen Eagle 7, one of the most underrated watches under $250 for NOS. Many variations and most are very attractive and very comfortable on the wrist. Some are clearly datejust clones and their diver-look variations are pure class.
I've just looked one up and found a really nice one for like 150€. But I'm not sure about the size. It's listed as 34mm Wich I think is a bit small for me. I'm not really used to wear anything below 40
Yes! Out of any Seiko reissue, I would most welcome the 6139. I had a really nice rare example with silver dial. It's so thin, too. It ran great and surprisingly the lume still works very well.
But, because there are no more parts made for them for a very long time, and if the way the chronograph mechanics are made, you basically have to cannibalize another 6139 for the part of it goes bad. Btw, not going into the technicals, but that's why it's highly recommended you keep the chronograph running keep the chronograph clutch from wearing out.
It really needs a mechanical automatic chronograph and keep all the original proportions for it to be perfect reissue. But, that'll mean needing to engineer a new movement as their current chronograph movement is just too thick to make it into the original case dimensions. Even if it were expensive, it will still sell really well. People gripe about the higher Seiko prices. But, it is what it is and if they really want it they'll bite the bullet and buy it still.
I would love to see Seiko bring back the Monster version 2. I love the Monster in general I have two version 2. One black with red trim the "Dracula" and one black and orange. I love them both. I would like to see a reissue perhaps with a sapphire. By the way I also have an Islander Monster in blue (not a version 2 hint hint Mark). Deep purple perhaps. Great content gentlemen.
I'm praying for a reintroduction of the Seiko King and Grand Quartz line (will never happen) It would be awesome to see mid level temperature adjusted quartz dress watches back in Seiko's line up.
The King is back.
@@rawhide154 it's limited tho
@@ionlybluffAA In Europe only one Version is limited, the other 5 models are regular and I would assume, that the line "King Seiko" is here to stay besides 5 Sports, Prospex and Presage.
@@rawhide154 no it isn't , the King Quartz line has never been reintroduced, and the new automatic King Seiko's aren't even real King Seiko's.
@@HRM.H please elaborate. Why exactly aren't the King Seikos?
You’re spot on with the need for a Longines Weems reissue. This week I purchased their 38MM Heritage Military, which is basically the Dunkirk watch without the bezel. The silver dial with the blued hands is absolutely stunning! It’s already one of my favorite watches. Highly recommend for those looking for a WWII era pilot’s watch with modern dependability
It's been too long!! But this duo brings me life and joy.
Zenith has competition with hi-beat, the 2022 Longines Ultra-Chron 5hz is pretty killer.
I would love to see the Cartier Roadster reissued. An interesting watch with very unique features. I remember when it first came out I was in my teens working as a busser at a nice restaurant. It was in a catalog that my friend and I were looking through before our shift started. I instantly fell in love. I thought to myself, if only I was older with a better paying job, I would buy this watch. I want the roadster to come back so I can get it new.
I had an Eagle 7, in impeccable condition (for its age), and also have a Citizen President Quartz (basically a super thin quartz eagle 7). Really good watches, and an incredible quartz for the money (35 quid when I got mine) - hits all the markers, keeps perfect time and ticks so quietly that you cant even gear it held up to your ear. I love it
Thanks for the great content 👍
A reissue of the Seiko Automatic World Time watches of the 70’s e.g. the Ref. 6117-6400 would be fantastic. Looking for an affordable Worldtimer for ages now.
I definitely like to see Bruce Lee's Seiko 6139-6010 chronograph get a Recreation one day and definitely the Heuer Autaiva Pepsi bezel gmt manual wind chronograph from the 60s. Along with a few more Heuer Carreras. Heuer made so many awesome chronographs in the 60s and 70's but the reissues have to 100p like the originals with no unessarsary changes. Excellent video pizan 🇮🇹
OMG amazing choices my friend. I would love to see all of those!
Mille grazie amico.
Best regards,
TGV
Thank you TGV so much for such an interesting discussion with Mark about possible reissuing of watches!! It was very interesting to hear your perspectives!! In addiction, I wish Mark the best with his flying experience!! I’m very happy that he was able to fulfill and discover his dream, which is very important I think and many people struggle to find their true dream. By the way TGV, have you created the dinosaur comercial for Tudor? Stay healthy and well as always!! (Nicholas L)
Glad you guts finally looked at the Lindbergh and Weems stuff! I have a Hour Angle and a weems navigation watch. Love them! And I’m not a typical pilot watch guy
I would like Timex to reissue the 1980’s triathlon Ironman watch. Had one as a kid & loved that watch. I would purchase one for work & one for the weekend! Love that Black/dark grey & orange. Also don’t forget the Indiglo backlight!!!!
I learned about a few watches I'd never heard of in my 4 years of being into watches, and saw classics I've dreamed about. Bulova should release the Astronaut under the Accutron Legacy line. They use automatic movements in those vintage re-issue line. I think it would fit in beautifully. Assuming it's not 42mm, I would be all over that. I am seeing 38mm vintage versions. I am not sure if that is all they released it in, but I think that would be a great size. If they wanted to modernize it slightly, maybe put it out under Bulova. That watch would sell like crazy if done well. My next favorite was the Brando GMT. That rendering is phenomenal. If only Rolex had the guts to release it, that would probably outsell the Pepsi GMT (for a while anyway). A dressy GMT from Rolex would be so perfect.
Hi Marc, I have a LeCoultre Atmos sitting on a credenza a couple of feet from a 5-bulb Galilean thermometer. Amazing. I'm also a commercial pilot and former flight instructor. Congratulations on starting the journey! I got my 50-year pin from AOPA two years ago. Flying never gets old, unlike me LOL. I'm wearing a Citizen Skyhawk AT Blue Angels edition I've retrofitted with a 22mm stainless steel bracelet. I actually use the slide rule bezel. Even with digital cockpits, I'd miss the "mini E6-B" right on my wrist. It *never* hurts to have a ready backup in aviation. There's a reason E6_Bs are still used in both instruction and in practice. I lost a beloved Bulova Accutron gold "Spaceview" in Venezuela in 1975 (long story :) Seeing the Accutrons reminded me of the first Accutron I saw at the 1964 Seattle World's Fair.
Thanks Marc, TGV and Hugo for creating such fascinating and knowledgeable watch reviews. You've given me proper appreciation for the watches I already own, and lots of ideas for watches I'd enjoy owning.
This is the best watch series on youtube. Full stop. Thanks again fellas, much appreciated
I always look forward to these videos! Such a treat! Cheers gentlemen!
So glad to hear that Steve,
Thank you,
Best regards,
TGV
And they’re back ;-) Another great episode with great picks, I learn a lot !
Here’s my selection :
- Tudor Submariner Blue or a black Tudor Black Bay with the 369 dial like the BB Bronze,
- Seiko Chronostop (5717-8990),
- Rolex Air King 369 (but in 38/40mm) that dial/bezel combo is 🤩
- A catalogue version of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Limited Edition for HODINKEE. I never saw one IRL but I love the design so much !
I’d love to see a reissue of the Seiko Pogue - preferably an auto movement though, rather than a mechaquartz.
Nice move from Tudor with the Ranger 2022,
I’m still wondering if it’s the good pick for me: 🤔
Very nice watch and amazing specs for sure but IMHO it would have been perfect in 36mm or 34mm. 👌
I could watch you two forever. You two have such great chemistry and are so knowledgeable about watches. Thank you so much for the videos. I own two islander watches and love them both. And I agree Apocalypse Now redux is a masterpiece. Thanks again William.
Fun fact re Ricoh watches: They did a collab with Hamilton between 1962 and 1964, producing Electric watches. The electric parts were made by Hamilton in the US, and the mechanicals parts were made in Japan. The watches are marked Hamilton-Ricoh on the cases. I bought one in Japan (it still works :)). Apparently they sold very few, only in Japan or on US bases in Japan...
I have a citizen Eagle 7 with smooth bezel. Took it back to Italy to have it serviced and give him a good strap.
It’s a great watch and it looks degeneracy more expensive than whatever they charged for it back in the day. Eagle 7 was Citizen version of Seiko 5 or Orient 3 Star
Never going to happen, but a real Tudor Submariner reissue will be a dream come true. A Pierce Brosnan Bond Seamaster 300 reissue will be absolutely great as well.
The dynamic duo back at it again!!
I wait for this every month, love this show!
They should reissue Citizen's non-bullhead flyback 8110a! I own a franken-version (not intentionally) reverse Panda and it's gorgeous and small and just fantastic (save for the Franken-of-it-all). Though mine has a red seconds hand and sub-dial hands (orange was the original color) and red just pops!
When I saw the new Seiko GMT I instantly thought they should make a 6139 Chrono, but imo has to be mechanical. Great video, thanks to both for the history lesson.
i hope bulova continues to revisit their catalog/archive. some off the vintage jet star designs are absolutely stunning to look at imo
I just love these discussions! Definitely a watch that Seiko should consider is the G757 Sport (the Octopussy watch), but they should give it decent water resistance and make it solar 😁
I'd dig a mechanical bullhead speed timer reissue by Seiko. They have done some quartz reissue bullheads, but not mechanical and not in the speed timer colors.
As an avid fan of Universal Geneve, I would love to see a re issue of some of their icons… The Polerouter Sub with the EPSA dual crown case and the microtor movement. The Trii Compax even some of their simple three handers. So more a re launch than a re issue.
Great informative video. Some stunning watches. Being a lover of vintage watches I'm always open to reissues to get the vintage look but confidence in a new watch. Many thanks as always 👍
Without a doubt the best duo on RUclips! Congrats Mark on the PPL.
Great video, as always really appreciate the content! Did you see that Formex just released the Reef GMT with interchangeable bezels? Looks like you’ll be able to wear a GMT without a bezel if you want 😉
I want the Casio G-SHOCK DW6600 reissued ! They put out some reissues recently ( the DW5900 and some others so it isn’t out of the question )
10:30 I love it when Marc goes off on a techie tangent. Please let him keep doing it 😊
👍👍 Excellent video TGV. The more I watch your videos like this the more I find myself looking at vintage style watches.
Invicta, baby!! Got my 63mm Leviathan on now, sporting that Flame Fusion Crystal and rockin’ that quartz movement. It blows anything Patek or Vacheron have ever done, right out of the water!! The babes love it!
Great video, thank you for taking the time to do all the editing so we can see the watches that you’re speaking about.
You need to watch Maverick in the cinema sir. I too was unsure but my girlfriend convinced me, and I loved it. As amazing as home cinema is these days I do think it will miss the whole experience. Anyway will continue watching the video! 👍
Hello gents! Joe here…ah yes, flying. can’t say enough good things about it, love it. These days I do more motorcycling, gives me some of the same feelings 👍🏼. Now, regarding the comment roughly translated to “thinking or the suggesting of something prior to seeing it actually happen”. Before you two started the your video series together I had talked about it and suggested it wwwaaaayyyy before you actually started to pair up! See, see, it is working very well! I knew it would!!
😏. Good to see you both doing well.
Marc (you blow my mind)frankel , gels so well with TGV, you make it look so effortless and that my friend is when you know your doing something really well .. kudo's guys.
Easily my favorite collaboration in the community.
That " Swimming Pool " Islander is a sight to behold .
TGV, you’ve got to see Top Gun Maverick on the biggest cinema screen possible - trust me. Don’t just watch it at home…sensational movie! Really keen to hear what you think of it.
This is seriously what I look forward to every time I open my RUclips app. Two of my favorite watch guys kicking it! Love you guys. Keep up the great work.
OMG, there he is!!!! I was seriously getting worried about you. I saw you on the SoCal watches, I thought you were super awesome my friend. Glad to see you are ok. I hope this finds you well. Thank you always for the support.
Best regards,
TGV
I am lurking around. I just got tired of all the negativity on Social Media during the pandemic so I cut my consumption. But rest assured that when it comes to my favorites in the Watch community I was still watching! No pun intended! The positive cultural impact of the content and commentary you provide, and the customer service experience Marc provides is something I hope to enjoy for a long time. Pure class fratello!
Grande!!!!! I don't blame you about social media. I feel in many ways it has got much worse since the start of the pandemic. I often think about leaving it all behind, but there are so many of you, like yourself I don't want to let down. I am honored by your kind word fratello. Hopefully one day I will get to meet you in person. I would love to have some more watch events in NYC too. Always, stay safe, well and keep up the good fight.
😎🥂
I’m a simple guy. I see a video featuring TGV and Marc, I click 🤷🏻♂️ 😎
For me it’s the Seiko SPORK….would love to see back on the market at 40mm.
Another amazing video! For me, I'd love to see the Grand Seiko 44GS be properly re-issued.
I would also like to see another version of the Tudor Advisor Memovox. (Ref. 10050 to be specific) Such a stunning , simplistic yet unique watch.
YESSSSSSSS!!!! Exactly choice, thank you Thomas, you have great taste.
Best regards,
TGV
I'd love to see Omega put back the old fashioned Seamaster (like the limited edition one they did in 2018 but without that awful careback). Simple and traditional - I could even stomach a 41mm to fir the 8900 movement.
Great choice 👌 I like to see Omega bring back the Omega Seamaster big triangle 🔺️ diver with a 39mm or 40mm case or even the Omega Seamaster Soccer ⚽️ time chronograph
Great to see Longines on the list 👍
What a great video. I really enjoy your co-collaborations. Aside from the fact that you both have a business centered around the watch industry, both of you have really become horology scholars! IMHO, you are what the hobby is all about!
This video was really enjoyable. Personally, I salivate for a Seiko Pogue re-issue, provided that it is reasonably priced. I am not interested in a quartz movement or a Meca-quartz movement. I have no problem with a handwinding movement; as I rotate my watches, I always have to wind them anyway before putting them on the wrist. In my opinion, a watch has to be mechanical, or it’s not really a watch!
BTW, that Longines in the video with the extra bezel locking crown: Many Glycine Airman models sport the same mechanism. I have a Glycine Airman GL071-DC4 with the same system. I personally adore this watch and serendipitously, Marc sold me an awesome Vollmer bracelet for this piece. I get so many nice comments on this watch!
Keep up the great Videos. This one in particular was a really nice vignette!
Brian
The Bulova Spinnaker should be brought back. It is a beautiful design and a fun watch. Sort of like the Mido Ocean Star Decompression Timer or the Oris Sixty Five with Arabic Numbers.
I sure didn't know Bulova made a watch and called it Spinnaker lol I've just got a Spinnaker diver for Xmas
Wow that ’Brando’ Rolex is clean and simple but still a Rolex GMT. Pure tool simplicity. 😎
Sometimes less is a more.
...
You've nailed it Marc: I think I'm going to buy a Squale 1545 GMT and 'nick the bezel off'. 😉😎
The Zodiac Kingline looked awesome. Frankly I've been really obsessed with watches that have smooth sweeps. I used to think my Tudor BB's sweep was really cool, then I saw what the Grand Seiko Spring Drive could do, or Bulova's Precsionist line could do, and what Zenith has going on. Sadly as you and Marc both pointed out, something moving that fast, will wear out much sooner, needs higher quality (costly) parts and sooner than watches with a lower beat rate. I can't even find anybody who would even sell such a movement on its own. Not even Seiko with their 9S movement series. Clearly they're keeping that solely for Grand Seiko's non Spring Drive line. Damn shame. How many brands would jump at the chance to offer a 36,000 beat movement? If Seiko could find a way to produce an unbranded version of the 9S and somehow price it right, it would be a license to print money.
Also for a watch that needs to come back, Rolex GMT Master II with the black/red Coke bezel.
I missed you guys, welcome back.
It’s been too long…. Great to see you together again 😊
Thank you for keeping my interest of watches and keeping this up. you are such an inspiration as a human and watch collector. you have learned me how important story and quality is.
Brilliant episode guys! Some great picks. I could listen to the two of you talk watches all day. 😁💓
I would love to see reissue of the Seiko Flighmaster Panda with the white dial with the blue subdials. And for legibility it should have black hands with good lume instead of silver hands. Also, a day-glo orange chronograph second had would be welcome.
👏👏👏👏👏 YESSSSSSSSSSS
Genius idea. Thank you.
Best regards,
TGV
I recently acquired a re-edition from Eberhard, their “Scientigraf”. Antimagnetic and 100m water resistance. Aside from a couple of criticisms I think they did a great job.
Talking of unsung makes, my dear departed dad bought me a Swiss 17 Jewel Incabloc Valex in 1963 and it's still working perfectly. As regards watches that should be reissued, I nominate the 1967 Tissot Visodate Seastar Automatic PR516 with the Continental (holed steering wheel) bracelet. I bought one new in that year for £27 and, like the Valex, it's still working perfectly . . . and I honestly think it's one of the best looking watches ever.
Congrats to Mark on starting his PPL! I've had my license for about a year and it's the best! Welcome to the skies, brother!
Thanks guys. Your watch chat videos are far more engaging, interesting and informative than that "watchbox" outfit.
Good work fellas.
Great video once again from you two, though I would love to see a video on renaissance horology, especially the clock in the duomo. When I was visiting Firenze last winter, I was already wondering how the clock worked, so if you could, I would love to see a video. Thanks again for the great talk, missed it last month!
55:30 actually they made the Longines Weems Replica limited to 1000 pcs, 33mm, manual wound 2801 while taking out the hack feature of the movement (that's why you use for the weems second) and I was lucky until my boss offered me some quite handsome amount. 😂. I regret selling it till this day.
@51:00 I saw apocalypse now the first week it opened at the ziegfeld theater in NYC. It was a big deal. Had to buy tickets in advance. I've seen maybe 15 more times since.
My reissue dream watch is an omega ST165.024 with the 8800 in the back. IMO it’s one of the most classic dive watch designs.
My pick would be a JLC Reverso memory Chrono and a Seiko Bellmatic.
So glad to have your both back - outstanding video 👍
In 1971 when I was in the army my friend bought a Pogue at the PX for $90. He still has it and I told I have first dibs to buy it
The boys joining forces, Mark is a flyboy and TGV is looking great with a bit more body mass. My ideal return specifically is a Waltham Lip Electrodyne diver from the 70's and style wise an affordable automatic with a compressor dial. Always a fabulous diversion ! There's a sound bite and click bait " TGV proposes to Mark" lol
Nice. TGV and Mark collaborations are always a treat
Man this was a video and a half! For me this was as trippy as mainly because of the number of watches that you referred to that I actually have! Firstly I have a Pogue, and then the Seiko 6138-0040 Moo and the Citizen "Brad Pitt "8110 Moo (mine's a Panda). I don't have a Ricoh but do have a beautiful little 37mm old West End President Day Date in gold (on president style bracelet) which has the snappiest day date change I've ever seen (in the blink of an eye). The bonus thing about this watch is that my example actually sports the military issue broad arrow on the back. I wondered if that would be all, but then a Bulova Surfboard rolls across my screen - and I have a 1971 version. And then the Rolex GMT shows up - no I can't afford one of those right now despite the fact that I love them, so I have a Cronos GMT Master with pepsi ceramic bezel - a rather stunning homage (I hope that's okay!). I also have a Fortis (Black Mars Chrono). I also have a Charles Lindberg inspired angles watch (A Poljot 3133 chronograph) - I have no idea how to use the angles or the bezel though. I don't have a Seiko SKX GMT, but I do have a Seiko GMT. I got all these pieces out during the duration of the videos. This video shows me that my tastes are actually sort of okay and gives me confidence! I love the dual videos with TGV and Mark. I probably will re-watch Ricoh President video again. Keep it up chaps! :)
Great episode. I don't know if you guys made one already but a nice idea for a future would an episode on your favorite watches featured in movies.
I'm glad you guys are back! It's always an entertaining visit. And I do think that the watch companies should follow you two for marketing ideas. Who has more knowledge and passion for watches combined?
I love the Longines reissue you recommended, TGV, they should ask you to help design the new one! My two cents would be make the bezel slightly slimmer and keep the dial simplicity. I'd like to see a reissue of the Omega off-white true pie plate look, they are so classic and there's really nothing like them now.
Thanks for that, TGV. My absolute personal favourite would be the Sinn 756 to return.
ayyy been a while. Good to see you two back together.
I really enjoy these talks between TGV and Mark.
As far as Fortis goes, I’d love to see a Spacematic reissue.
perfect video again .. precious lecture again from best profs .. the only little correction for Marc about zodiac 36000 .its just 5 hz 10 tick per second ..maybe i am wrong with the terminology but its not 10 hz ..
Lol “the horror” bits are hilarious
Missed this chat last month! I must admit I would love a re-issue of the Pogue - it’s just a beautiful looking watch with that golden dial!
Omega 2254.50, no helium valve and a micro adjust bracelet... solid caseback and 12mm thick.. now THAT would be an amazing reissue
It's nice to see Bill Hader and Eddie Redmayne working together.
Wonderful video. Love when you and Mark collaborate on watch content.
