Why vintage? I'll show you. *PIC* Posted By: allen st. john Date: 5/9/07 12:13 GMT I was looking at the TAG Heuer page on another watch discussion group, and they had one of those "Show your collection" threads. State of the collection... Yah, I can probably guess the website. I read it from beginning to end. Several dozen watches. And except for a couple of nice vintage pieces, and a couple of Carrera and Monaco reissues, there wasn't one watch that I would wear. I don't mean buy at a market price. Or even a reasonable discount. I mean that If someone *gave* me any of these watches, I wouldn't wear it instead of my $27 Timex chrono. If it's not an homage to an old watch, IMHO there's a very high "what were they thinking factor?" to most modern TAGs. ![]() Yeah, well... About that... |
Two-Tone watches are fairly attractive on bronzed skin and they are certainly flashy enough for this personality type. Remember that most people do prefer Quartz watches over mechanicals. |

I do understand that the marketplace abhors a vacuum and products will be produced to fill any potential need. That's what TAG-Heuer has become very good at doing. I'd much rather have a live, thriving, healthy and profitable TAG-Heuer than merely a dead and mostly forgotten Heuer-Leonidas. best Allen However, I'm not particularly enamoured with the modern Monza... |
