: I'm traveling with the family for New Years, and staying away
: from the computer (and the watches). So I am unable to do the
: customary "Year in Review".
: It's interesting though, in lieu of the full=year review, to take a
: look at the last two weeks of 2010, as representing the entirety
: of the year 2010 . . . and what a two weeks our community has
: had (and they have also had a couple of great highlights for me,
: personally). So here is my super fast two-week review, in lieu
: of a full 52-week review, in no particular order: we had the
: London gathering, with around 50 collectors from 18 countries .
: . . huge thanks to Paul and many others for making this happen.
: the next day, we had the amazing Bonhams auction of the
: Haslinger Collection . . . we all know what a great day this was
: for our brand that day, I ordered a TAG Heuer Carrera Cal 1887,
: from a dealer in England . . . it's been amazing since the day I
: received it, and I believe that this new movement and Carrera
: will be another historic achievement for our brand a couple of
: days ago, I received a fantastic Abercrombie & Fitch
: Seafarer, from a new friend in Argentina . . . hopefully, the
: beginning of a new relationship yesterday, on this forum, there
: was amazing collaboration to unravel one of the great mysteries,
: re the 7750-powered Pasadenas and Montreals . . . with a barrage
: of messages and some real focus by our members, some very useful
: information has been developed. Through all this, the traffic
: and mood of this forum and OnTheDash has been exceptional . . .
: I don't check our traffic statistics often, but just look at the
: number of messages posted on this forum over the last few weeks
: or months. there are some other wonderful collaborations
: occurring among our members . . . you will all see the results
: in just a few days. So there you have it . . . an amazing two
: weeks, closing out a fantastic year for vintage and modern
: Heuers . . . I think about these accomplishments, and I am
: really excited about the prospects for 2011, year 151 for our
: beloved brand. I hope that all our members will enjoy 2011, as
: much as we have enjoyed the last two weeks.
