You traded a watch for a book?
No no...yeah Mr Orange was right, I bought the watch and the Tag Heuer Boutique gave me the book alongside the purchase.

yeah sorry for not being super clear, i tend to do that from time to time hahahaha 馃檮

So did you only buy the watch to get the book? Or is this story a lame duck?

Pretty sure he bought the watch only to get the book. Remember that Otto is among the richest men in his country. No big deal for royalty like him.

Lol. I checked one by one what do i get for purchasing the watch:

Formula One: a pat in the back and handshake

Aquaracer: a pen

Aquaracer Chronograph: a discount voucher for service

Carrera: a hat

Carrera Chronograph: a sunglasses (maybe just maybe you can haggle it down to + a bag)

Monaco: a weird look that says "you sure you don't want the chronograph version ?"

Monaco Chronograph: The Legend Autobiography Book...grail !

I鈥檝e not had a freebie from my AD when buying, maybe as a small family business they don鈥檛 buy goodies to give away, or the staff get them? But I do get hefty discounts and good service so that makes up for anything else, although I have magazines* and the like given to me when I鈥檝e popped by for coffee.
*Often an Omega production.!

When I bought my 160th Carrera, the sales guy was basically telling me that different levels of spend qualified you for different levels of free gift. The more you spend, the higher the value of free gift you effectively unlock. Seems to be a policy these days. At least in the UK.

Except if you buy directly from tagheuer.co.uk 馃憤 then you should be lucky if you get the watch at all

Same in our local TH Boutique. I initially wanted a TAG Heuer cap but my dealer told me the hydro flask is much expensive and are given free for a premium collection purchase so although I don鈥檛 need a coffee/water container, I still ended up with one.. LOL 馃う

I remember that one time they discontinued Tag Heuer sunglasses at the same time i bought my 43mm H01.

They offered the sunglasses for free for every carrera purchase.

So i got my 43mm H01 and when they asked me, which of the sunglasses i choose i just told them whichever most expensive 馃榿 (i already got one Tag Heuer sunglasses from before of my own choice bought from sunglasses store)

On the book side of things, Drive Time deluxe edition, the third, has been released.

In the interview is "Then, later in the year, there will be a third Chopard event in California, and one with TAG Heuer, likely at one of their boutiques. However, that has yet to be set." Hmmmm, TAG Heuer event?
Just ordered my copy! Thank you sir @HoltzPlatz 馃憤
