Since most brands have some heritage to pull from...
I guess it is unavoidable that they should update the designs.
I am not for 1 to 1 copy... more like updates with a hint of the heritage.
The Tudor Pelagos is a good example.
Old ones water resistant to 200m, new ones 500m... it's got planet ocean at it's sights...
Old ones stainless steel, new one is Titanium.
Those I can accept.
Be thankful that they did not re-issue 1 to 1 copy and charge us an arm and a leg and make it uber limited... like the jlc polaris and the jlc tribute to deep sea.... pricey!!!
