I actually learned who Tetsu Ikuzawa was about 14-15 years ago, during one of my business trips to Japan. I picked up a local magazine on Porsche and his white Porsche 997 was featured, it had many custom ordered features. I took a particular interest as I had recently bought the same model, except in metallic black.
Proper JDM Motorsport x Porsche x TAG Heuer watch 👍
Proper heritage & pedigree 😉

I also reserved that watch. There's a problem with my number and I think I'll be delayed in receiving it. I look at this minicar and wait for my one to arrive.
Ikuzawa is also involved in the Nissan Skyline legend.
His rival at that time was Shikiba, who drove a Porsche 904. He started a company called Racing Mate and sold car supplies. At that time, Shikiba custom-ordered Heuer Monza with Racing Mate logo.
I am looking forward to putting the two watches side by side as I will have both.
I think this would qualify as one of the top 3 releases of the year - 60th anniversary Carrera, Night Driver and Ikuzawa (not necessarily in that order).
Thanks for the info sir @Snowy & congratulations on your gorgeous Japan/Rising Sun TAG Heuer Carrera 👍 Truly for the Japanese motorsport TAG Heuer fan! 😀
