Would you buy a Pogue if Seiko reissued them?

Feel free to post pix of your old Pogues.

Definite yes! I would put my name down on a waiting list if there is one.

Memo to Seiko: Do it! I think that they would sell like hot cakes.

There is sort of a pogue reissue.

But it’s not a chrono.

It does have a Pogue-like tach bezel.

Yes, but not quite the pogue we all came to love.

It doesnt jump at me. Seen versions in the metal.

Hopefully seiko does a proper reissue.

I'd definitely purchase one. I like these reissues, it introduces me to these vintage Seikos, and then I end up adding both to my collection.

Possibly. I have an original from the 70's, so it might be cool to get a reissue. Depends on a few things, like how close to the originals they are and cost. Just depends I spose - it would be cool to see nonetheless.

If the price is right (below $2k). Otherwise I would prefer to spend on an excellent vintage example.

I would sure be interested in buying a Pogue reissue.

I'm so sorry I sold this near mint example in its original box with papers a few years ago. I'm still kicking myself.

I would and would like to see it in the blue, silver and gold dial. I would buy all three if done well.

Reminds me of the Three Stooges routine when they say Niagara Falls.

Probably not. Unless they had a great movement in them.

How long did it take Spencer to service. He told me he was 14 months out.

I'd like to see a 21st century Pogue update, with colorful dials but 8R48 movement or Spring Drive chrono. Seiko would probably do something given their tendency to charge premium prices for vintage reissues.

I would. Absolutely.

This past March I sent one to Klein. At the time I was told the wait would be from 12 to 14 months.
