i am in two minds on it.....
....i actually like teh concept of owning both a modern and a vintage of teh same piece. At the same time, it does seem to be de rigeur across the industry to use this M.O. as it is so popular.
On balance, I go with the trend.
Further....take the original vintage Railmaster. It carried teh highest level of radiation i have ever seen on a watch. Genuinely at dangerous levels. I just can't wear a watch I knlow to be that radioactive. The tribute looks the same...and won't kill me!! It works for me on that basis

+1 . Inspiration vs replication... and evolution is never replication. [nt]

I think it is well done and those 3 are good ones
my only point was, that there are lately too many of those re-editions. I'd also like to see some modern innovation.
Agreed, its great to see what new tech can do in old toys but honestly I'd rather see a new toy worth plunking 7-10k on, the company is paying minimal in r and d and just adding a new movement/ goodies that should
Have been in the package already or should have made an appearance ages ago when they started the whole craze, but its that addige that companies will do whatever they can to sell you more watches and at least Omega finally listened to the masses.
Although limited edition always seems to be made in not enough bactches, ie the Bond Seamater for the last movie etc. It is what it is and as long as people purchase the craze will continue 
We still have to see everything... But it is a strong offer, for sure. [nt]

It is good, but within this price category, the PPro Zenith is a top contender. [nt]

Only the Seamaster interests me.
The kit is obtainable but I'll pass. I do like the cleaner dial on the RM, but the Seamaster's bezel is just a thing of beauty.
i was just thinking that.....
......but i have the original SM300 with original bezel and insert....so that changes the equation for me...i am torn
You are fully set. Nothing here for you.
I tend to agree with Arie's opinion about re-editions. I have an easier time with how TAG handled the Autavia - yes, there are clear differences, and owners of the originals will not have interest. But their pieces are also not directly copied. So I prefer that way.
Omega follows the Panerai method instead.

See I am also torn between the two
I do wish they updated the RM just a little with a screw down crown, especially since it's an automatic. I understand that perhaps this was not possible because of the size of the crown. I also want a plexi Speedy Pro... I still haven't got one. Perhaps both...
At this level of price, you can't be wrong if you want to get both... [nt]

This is a nice detail, indeed. Nicer than the one on the Seamaster 41 mm. [nt]

I am stunned. Each one beautiful and so well executed..........a trilogy!
What a fantastic job from Omega. Housing a manual movement in the Speedmaster, reducing its size, my hat off, "chapeau", long live common sense
Stylish and ...........real smart
I would have loved to have a manual winding movement in the Railmaster, too. [nt]

I'm not into re-editions at all and find it mostly a sign of lack of imagination.
Having said that; I think I want this set
The trio is a superb attempt from Omega to cater to ordinary collectors
You could deliberate over whether vintage re-editions are 'unfair' etc etc, but hey, for the vast majority of passionate collectors, what better way to acquire something that they could comfortably enjoy wearing every day!
On the other hand, if one prefers new and innovative attempts, Rolex and Tudor shouldn't disappoint!
The Speedy absolutely nails it for me.

This set is amazing ...and with 3 it should calm watch-appetite for a while at least :) [nt]
