Actually that's not correct, I said midnight on the 21st, not the 20th. Sorry.... so two more days.

I think the title is way too modest... "Calibre 11 moderator"

Change it to something better reflecting the truth:

Mega Legend Private Jet Flying Monaco King and Collector of All Things Heuer

Hubert has this celebrity kind of way of answering questions without really answering the actual question 😁

What are your thoughts on the 2021 Aquaracer?

It's so funny he mentions the Sellita reliability in the interview as well. Guess I'm to blame for TAG losing the sale!

...but...

guess whose 844 Edition started to have the classic SW200 rotor problems just this weekend!

I really enjoy the watch but at $4000+ I'm just

Yes. It's not the worst of it yet, just intermittent catching. Pretty soon (~2 weeks) it'll be difficult to hand-wind though, based on previous experiences with poorly finished SW200s.

And that's not to mention the similar issues that arise occasionally with both of my Heuer-02 Carreras...

Are you sure you're not doing something to them?! 😗😜

I'm joking of course, but it does seem like you've had terrible luck.

I hand-wind them. Maybe they're not designed for that but it's not a problem with any of their competitors' models. Only becomes a bit of an issue with ~$1000 or less microbrands.

I hand-wind my automatics too, but only a little bit to get them started usually. Never had an issue with any of my TAGs, ETAs or Sellitas. Fingers crossed!!

I've been hovering the 'buy' button on C24 for some listings of the 844. Thanks for the reminder that I shall use my money on better things (like the 211P Monaco 😝)
