I don't own the watch...

So I don't have a dog in this fight but, if I were an owner, there are a few reasons I might be upset about the appearance of these new versions from Zenith:
1) There was at least some implication that the Hodinkee version was an exclusive and that the watch wouldn't be produced again.
2) Perhaps I may have preferred the blue or brown dials to the grey dial, but since I believed that the grey dial would be the only option that would ever appear on this watch I decided to buy the grey.
3) I may have preferred a version of the watch without the Hodinkee engraving on the case back, which may actually hurt the resale value of the watch should I ever decide to sell it - especially when there are now versions in existence that do not have such engraving on them.
As a non-owner of the Hodinkee LE the appearance of the new watches from Zenith doesn't bother me at all, but I'm just trying to put myself into the shoes of someone who bought the watch thinking it was truly a one-time opportunity.
