Why the Heuer Bashing on Other Sites ? ? ?
In Response To: to each his own........ ()


apparently, Brad Pitt is not a Heuer ambassador (or at least I don't see him on the TAG-Heuer website). seems that this is just some guys poking fun at Heuer, on another discussion board.

so now for the questions. Why do we see the constant stream of Heuer-bashing on sites like TimeZone?

  • jealous of Heuer's history?
  • jealous of recent uptrend in TAG-Heuer designs, innovation and quality?
  • honest comparison of competing brands?
  • something else?
