I am certain that we will see a SM300 re-issue at some point. Rather surprised that it hasn't happened yet though. Lots of Master Coaxial SM300 available, but surprised we don't have an official Omega "Watcho" re-issue yet.

Since those reeditions are often limited editions I would distinguish them from ordinary LEs of current production models ( all those Bonds, Olympics, Moons etc). People too often perceive them as same problem. For me 7007 additional to current production Seamasters are different animal than Seamaster 1948 for example. If I like SM with small second I don’t have a choice than buy LE ‘cos there is no such a piece in current offer.
I like the idea of vintage design ( even size) and modern technology inside. It gives me the pleasure for the eyes ( design, vibe) and peace of mind ( age, tech) .
Those are my current favs. Do I look for next reissue to come? Maybe TV dials …

Got to be an Omega Flightmaster - such a colourful, vibrant watch (dial, hands, pushers) - impossible to find a vintage 145.026 in excellent cosmetic condition at a reasonable price.

Omega Titane, I actually think a modern high end version with a cal 8900 movement and better bracelet in titanium and palladium or titanium and Sedna gold could be interesting.

Worth mentioning I’d be greedy to expect Omega grant more wishes

Is that an OEM strap? Having a hard time finding high quality 19mm - definitely one of the downsides to the 321.

Yes, this is the OEM strap the website allows selecting from - here in the dark brown (black and light brown also offered). Treated myself after seeing another member with it.

Rea$onable is in the wallet of the beholder, but I agree that the flightmaster would be a fun reissue, apart from that massive case. Not sure how they'd do it in today's market/style with that big case unless it's titanium.

+1 for the Flightmaster. Possibly in titanium to make it lighter? Omega did a great job with the new versions of the Speedmaster Mk II and Ploprof so something similar with the Flightmaster would be cool. Though isn’t it the case that they wouldn’t be able to use the name? So just go with Flitemaster 😉

Yes, I'm pretty sure the Flightmaster name was sold to Seiko.
