I recognise a few faces there!

TAG Heuer do a great job of putting these on and they really are special occasions where you get to meet the collectors who you've been talking to online. I couldn't make this year's one unfortunately, but looking forward to hearing the stories.

I've thought for a while that we should organise a pre-Basel event for TAG Heuer collectors, with a chance to see the Basel watches in person..will give this some more thought about how to make it happen

What is Jack sporting?


The proportions don't look like a JH80; thoughts?


Edit: it is the JH80

Some great posts there. I went to the first Collectors Summit back in 2008...there were less than 10 of us!!

 

Wow! The fandom community is certainly is getting stronger!

 

Here you go- only eight to be precise!

 

Great picture! Thanks for sharing.

With the (not surprising) news that there will be an Autavia LE in 2017 to mark Jack Heuer's 85th Birthday...so maybe we'll get two Autavias after all...

 

EXACTLY! I just posted this news on the 2017 Autavia thread.

 

Yes, I think you can bet on that!
