I wouldn't call my "reissue" wish a real reissue:

I like a lot the size ans shape of the Air Command Chronograph and would love the reissue in the same size (cca. 40 mm), with lunette, dial color and calender/moonphase functions of the now introduced FF Chrono Calender and minutely lunette division of the (also new) reissue.
Best, Robertus

We have seen the "No rad" fifty fathom that Blancpain with mixed reviews.I am exited that they made the effort. Lets list below what Blancpain should reissue along with specifications. I think they should make the classic milspec. Should be 41 mm, no date...

I would be very interested in the reissue of the original Air Command model. The current modern version of this chronograph has a very large bezel and is tri-compax. A reissue closer to the original model could be very attractive. credit : Joel de Toulous...  

Interesting post, Brian.

In my case, my wish list is: - TR-900, or - US Navy, or - Milspec, or - No Rad (without date), or - A first version FF (with 3, 6, 9, 12 dial) I want them closely to the original one... I want a red-ed of this one... Or one like this one... Best Emilio...

no rad but without a date.... also slightly smaller... 39...40 or 41mm but that would not happen as they have t develop a new case... very expensive for a small market of the re-issue.... all of them, if they are made would be 45mm.... cheers

Some great idea's!

 
 By: Briandumais : March 21st, 2010-12:38
I think that they could design one classic shape case that could be used to make a limited addition run. Could be a matt case and a plexi crystal (like the pam 249) and have the on a manageable size (41mm). 250 3-6-9-12 250 Air Command (i have a photo of ... 

That is a pretty good idear Brian...!

Nicholas That watch is made of unobtainium and as the name implies is unable to be purchased. Brian

Doesn't matter which one ....

 
 By: bimbeano : March 22nd, 2010-13:59
...... as long if it's true to the original and the case is NOT 45 but maximum 42 mm ... . eerrr, shouldn't i first dream of the real deal ??? F

Aaah, unobtainium
