Lincoln I believe you have the wrong conception of what a LE is in the watch world!....if what you say would be true Hublot,AP,Panerai and many other watch companies would have long since gone out of business because they use the same case over and over with different dials and they are still Limited Editions!...the the Hublot Big Bang series has at least a dozen different dials available in the exact same case and each one is a LE and no one is complaining....these are watches that start at $15,000.00 :D
...take some time and do some research....those who want a Blue CF will still hunt for one...that is part of the excitement of this hobby....once you have some years in you will begin to understand hand6.gif
...and Invicta
Uh-oh.
It should be clear to all that I'm having a bit of a 'spat' and that I am being centered in that I am against a re-issue of a type of watch regardless of it being a Hublot or even a Timex. But I am not being stubborn in this position.
What research is necessary to be aware of when a re-issue of something that is a 'limited edition' is clearly false? To say that it's okay to re-issue something just because you may want a part of the original magic is somewhat more centered than I am griping about. It's a low-blow to assume that I will understand once 'I have some years in'; what experience is necessary in this hobby to understand the claim of 'limited edition'? I am not beefing Benarus for emblazoning 'limited edition' on their watches; I am griping about the clear-cut agreements from most that think it's 'okay' to re-issue a watch with no intention of crying 'foul', as I am.
My point is not to say that another issue of the Barracuda wouldn't look smokin'; but at what point do we, as watch aficionados, cry 'foul' at a dreamed (or very REAL with other watch brands) re-issue just because we have our own ideas of how much better a design would look with some variance?
Maybe I missed the point, then.
