Hello KM!! Interesting theme and you open it with one of my favorites...
... which has recently arrived to my stable.
I´m very fond of Tributes as though the charm of vintage is impossible to reproduce the modern versions give us the opportunity of owning a classic in those cases that the originals are very difficult to get or beyond our budgets and even if we have the vintage ones we usually do not wish to wear them in some risky situations like swiming, diving, beach or pool, etc..
Among my favorites Tributes I can mention the JLC Polaris and DSA, Longines Legend Diver, Tribute to Reverso 1931 and to Geophyic, and the Speedmaster FOIS and the Big Egiziano by Panerai.
Of course I should mention the Doxa Sub 50th Anniversary.
There are other interesting watches like the Tudor Black Bay and the Omega Seamaster 300 which I like so much though they are inspired in the vintage models but not exactly a repro o tribute.
Now I´m waiting to get my hands in the new Omega Trio rcently announced in last Basel.
I show some pictures of the watches mentioned.
All the best, Abel.

What's your favourite Tribute / Re-Edition?
The last decade has brought out many Tribute / Re-Edition watches from (most) watch manufacturers. Some bemoan the development but at the same time some pretty nice watches came out of it, too - which by virtue of being new often possess a much higher lev...
Definitely an excellent choice!
I remember trying yours in Zagreb and finding it very appealing
This is also one of my favorites dear Damjan!! A superb watch! Glad we share ...
... same love for the LLD!! Cheers! Abel
Good question
when it comes to full re-editions, then for me the JLC Polaris 68. When it comes to modernised releases, then the GP Vintage 1945 CC
Well since you asked....
The Zenith P15 And these 3 aren\'t bad either Oh and JLC did a pretty good job on this tribute as well ...
Very interesting topic my friend
Well, I would say the Breguet la Tradition (more specifically in yellow gold). Inspired by an old Breguet pocket watch (number 960) and that I really love. HAGWE Best wishes Alkiro ...
Wonderful choice, Alkiro! :)
Forgot about this actually fitting the criteria but it works spectacularly well
My pleasure my friend ;-)
That would be an excellent WS idea in my opinion. Best wishes Alkiro
...in these post-Baselworld early days I couldn't have more clear answer!
Resounding! Great post K.! HAGWE massi ...
So many to choose from ...
JLC would probably top my list with the Reverso TT1931 & Deep Sea Alarm - for me, a perfect weighting between replica and modernisation. So many this year come to mind - Omega trilogy, another Grand Seiko, and of course the nearly perfect Blancpain FF Mil...
a few come to mind
Not sure this is a tribute,but it just slides in Under-rated but just as interesting---could be a mite smaller like the original best henry ...
Excellent choices!
Especially like the Tissot - a less common choice but an excellent tribute
So many good reissues/tributes that I can't choose just one
JLC Geophysic 1958 Tribute in SS and Platinum. I only have the stainless steel model with the cross-hair dial for now, but the Platinum model has the dial variation I love the most (I seem to be in the minority on this dial preference). Of course, the new...
I could well picture all three :)
All fantastic in their different ways! Been close to pulling the trigger on two of the three
Watches are Superb... Photographs stunning!!...
... Wonderful collection of tributes my dear Nicolas!! Hagwe my dear friend! Cheers! Abel.
Thanks for the clarification Nicolas! Never seen this watch in the metal...
vintage or modern. Interesting timepiece! Cheers! Abel
I can imagine the vintage has the charm .. but the Tribute looks very faithful...
... I need to view it in the metal! Un abrazo mi amigo!!
Those Polaris'
(Polarii? Perhaps?) are to die for. I was too young and too ill informed at the time.
What a fabulous collection of options!
Thanks Nico for adding some really great choices Reminding me I wanted to go see the RR live...

Fabulous collection of pictures, Abel!
A big fan of all of your choices, even if the Egiziano is way too large for my chicken wrist Thanks for adding yours!
Thank you dear KM for your kind comments and it is a pleasure for me...
to participate in your thread! Regarding the Egiziano, truth is that it is way too big for any wrist (except may be Stallone or Scharzenneger) and my shots with it on my wrist was just a little playing. I bought it as a piece of collection for its histori...
Mine would have to be these that I am fortunate enough to own.
One is a faithful re-edition, the other a modern interpretation. I need more photos of these two! Other favourites include the TT Geophysic and Polaris (all of them). PAM557 is a good one too. ...
It's a beauty
I love the minimalist dial, it\'s so clean. Admittedly I would also like to own a more typical dial Panerai as well but in saying that, when would I wear it? I\'d rather have the 449 on. Blued hands just look amazing on Radiomirs.
Original size?
Or not more than 2mm above You are right, a certain rarity needs to be built in...
