Hubert's interview is live (with excellent pictures - thanks Hubert).
Interresting interview, thanks for sharing @Hubert was a bit surprised that your passion started so recently I thought you basically had been around since Heuer was founded 😉
@Aquagraph will be fun to read your interview, great initiative from Otto 😀
By the way Hubert, my contact at TAG Heuer read this...
I think Hodinkee have built a true business, however I have not become one of their paying customers yet. As for TAG Heuer, I have elaborated about this on the forum in the past. Yes, I think TAG Heuer should strongly consider a Collectors Registry or something to that effect. Based on the purchase history, the Collector would gain points and raise one’s status to acquire coveted pieces and limited releases. This could also be linked to discounts and special gifts. And they should also consider bringing the community’s voices to help define future products.
...and he's going to bring it up with the management team. So, maybe something like this will actually happen?

:¬) Thanks Yago! I'll keep you in mind if I ever decide to sell it.
Honestly, Telemeter and calibre6 are the only two of my collection that have had more than one strangers actually ever said hi to me and asked whether or not i will sell that watch. I NEVER put an advertisement to sell, by the way.
Makes me don't want to sell even more, of course....
I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as they monitor the people on the list and check to see if they flip the watches. My concern would be that the flippers would get themselves on the lists and corner the market even more...
What decade did you get into them?
My AD knows I’m not buying to sell as they see me wearing the watches when I pop in to say hi! I go by and talk BTCC with one of the guys although other dealers might not care as long as the watches go out and the cash rolls in?
I started staring into windows in the 60s as a big kid, and buying in the 70s, then in 00s wages allowed the bigger spends.
It’s turning the other way again, retirement means more time for someone else to have spending plans.
