This is my first post but I've been registered for some time.
I'm not a presumed registered member to stigmatise anyone. On the contrary ....
The subject was interesting enough for me to take the time to give my point of view.
What I see: unnecessary suspicion.
We're not talking here about clinical studies, drugs or the ethics of experts, even if they are journalists in their spare time.
As far as I'm concerned, I've loved watches for 40 years.
And I know JS's track record, even if his favouritism towards the brand is obvious given the quality and quantity of his collection.
To end this pointless debate:
Read onthedash! It's fascinating for lovers of Heuer; wristwatches or dashboards (my passion).
Guys, let’s leave this one. Jeff is unarguably the authority on vintage Heuer and has made an enormous contribution to recording the history of Heuer.
Let’s drop the arguments about shilling for meals and go back to arguing about the watches.
Not really. Seemed like you were trying to justify some of the comments made here because of the lack of objective journalism at large.
I do agree that most sites are not as objective as they should be. But even if someone like Ben Clymer of Hodinkee were to post here, I'd welcome his presence and treat him with the same courtesy & respect that everyone deserves. @Jeff Stein brings a wealth of knowledge with him, the forum is a richer place when he engages in discussion.
Having said that, I've had the good fortune of attending one of those exclusive TAG Heuer dinners in the past. There's an excitement and buzz that one can get from such an event. Which may have contributed to Jeff's optimistic view of a quick sellout of these Seafarers. But I'd take personal offense if someone were to insinuate that my comments or actions were the result of being bribed by a dinner.
Well here's mine on the wrist.
First impressions of this one are a bit strange for a TAG. Because unlike most of the other ones, this one isn't mainlining fun or racy vibes.
Instead, it's... elegant. The polished details shine when they catch the light sure, but it's anything but flashy. It's almost bordering on dressy, even.
Sporty and elegant in near equal measure - sounds familiar; sounds like the description of the original Carrera. It's excellent.
That’s exactly where I am coming from Rob.
Let’s have some genuine honest reviews for a change.
Talking of cordial and civil responses, should I take the same offence to the post by this alleged new member @Frank755, who only signed up to have a pop at me? @Hubert ?
Anyway, that’s all I am going to say in this thread.
What’s your thoughts on the bezel under glass thing on the new glassbox? Overall this looks great, but I’m still not sure on that detail
Back on topic, mine has arrived and I definitely like it. I still need to adjust the strap, as it's the one that has to be cut.
