I don't mind a reissue of the no date 666...

Seriously though, if they're going to relaunch it, they need to consolidate their catalog, go with the tried and tested tribute approach with limited eds of the 666 and the "jumbo", then reimagine those 2 for the regular catalog. For sport, I quite like the 3239. Maybe they can use that as a starting point for modern. Or reimagine the jumbo to something more sleek if they don't want the crown guards on the 3239. For the 666, a modern offering might see a bump from 37mm to 39, for example..and, yeah, with both date/no date version. They can even make the no date a limited run if it proves to be less commercially desirable than a date version. Although I can see how an updated 666 might look like a JLC Master Control. But it's all about the Inge logo at the bottom. And, yes, baby steps with just a few items on the catalog to let the Inge look stabilize. And leave those chrono versions to the Pilot and Portuguieser lines. They better get to it before Hodinkee does a VC CVD on them
