I don't get what people want...

: My point is they don’t care about their heritage, it’s the

It is their duty to be concerned about the bottom line. If they were more concerned with their heritage than the bottom line they would have been out of business long ago.

I don't get what people want. I am not a huge fan of these 3 handed Autavias but then I don't buy new watches with the exception of the Rindt remake from earlier this year. I do want TAG Heuer to succeed because they have been pretty good to us vintage guys....but as a vintage guy so I am not their target market. If you want a real vintage look buy real vintage watches.
