··TAG Heuer Forums ModeratorTourneau talked to TAG Heuer in the US and they haven't received any notice to make this exclusive to the boutiques. I will post an update, if this changes in the upcoming weeks.

Most of the images I've seen up to now seem to show the same prototype watch with the chronograph hands discrepancy.
My AD told me, they will get the watch around mid july.

·I don't have a dog in the fight; I'm not into LEs or reissues. I did read the NYT article though and found a couple of items interesting. First Hublot's production numbers. My response was "Well, don't charge so much for ugly watches and maybe you'll sell a few more".
The second thing was this quote from Julien Tornare, the Zenith CEO:
“Secondhand was ‘the gray market’ and it was dirty and no one wanted to hear about it,” he continued. “Now, we’re all thinking about how we do it and how we get our part of the pie, because it’s big business.”
Does that man understand what he's talking about? It's long been a business concept of capturing profit across all parts of the price/demand curve (Southwest selling discount seats to early buyers, Toyota offering the Scion line) but the concept has been heresy in the watch business. It's been speculated that Richmont destroyed something like $200 million worth of watches in 2018 just to keep them away from the GM.
Interesting read, glad I waded through this thread (and I have nothing to do at work right now).

Since Richemont now own Watchfinder, I would say they are using that channel to offload stock rather than GM dealers.

I think they're also getting into the "certified pre-owned" business the way car companies do. A few watch companies are starting to do things like that.

it is quite obvious that some of the big ‘pre-owned’ dealers and watch/jewellery/trinket chainstore ADs are selling NOS as if it was truly ore-owned. I’ve noticed that ‘scam’ more than once. I’ve even bought one that was advertised pre-owned and came with full 5 year warranty! It was a great price though so can’t complain,

·We'll see what happens, but TAG's got a history of starting down a very promising road only to change their minds at the last second.... For me, I've always preferred the black dial over the silver but for some reason I'm more excited about the new one as silver than I would be were it black.
