help finding a nice WW2 allies watch reissue
I have an interest in military watches, no to the degree of some people here.
Ive been looking for a reissue of an Allies watch from WW2, perhaps the A-11 or one of the dirty dozen.
On the german side, its easy to get a watch with some legacy for reasonable money, such as a stowa or a laco, but i cant see any very nice reissues of allies watches that are sub 1k, particularly from/by the original companies.
Id appreciate some advice in case im overlooking something.

Timor as above.
Also take a look at the MkII Cruxible

From memory Bulova did some kind of homage to their WW2 watches several years ago.

Check out the MkII Cruxible (I see billy Casper beat me to it)
Both versions are modern reinterpretations of USAAF / USN pilots watches

The RAF also issued the A11 (which the watch is based on). It should be said that an original A11 can be had for less money than the MKII watches however they are 80 years old and can be quite fragile now.
The up coming Timor is also looking fantastic as is on my list to purchase.
Zeno also made a version of the UDT canteen divers watch in mechanical and quartz.
Lastly Longines have made a few watches based on allied issued watches in recent years.
The only Japanese issued watch homage I know of is this one
