: I have one 90's Tag Heuer, and would like to
: find a vintage Heuer chronograph from the
: 60's or 70's. There are a lot of fine
: examples in the photos from previous posts
: on the board, and I'm looking for advice on
: finding a nice watch of my own.

: Do you find them at jewelers or ebay?? I've
: heard watch shows are a good place to find
: them, but not having any luck finding them
: online. Here are a couple of articles you
: can read to get an idea of where to start:
: Seeking a Moonwatch for my ... Written
: by myself. Don't let the
: "moonwatch" bit in the title throw
: you, most of the information there is
: applicable to Heuer's or any vintage watch
: as well... An Old article, largely
: un-updated, but it's weathered time well and
: is still a good starting point.

: Jeff Stein and myself have teamed to write an
: expanding series of articles about
: collecting watches with Ralf Bienenz
: contributing many of his outstanding
: photographs: Collecting 101 -- A Primer
: for Watch Collectors -- An introduction to
: watch collecting, published in International
: Watch, February 2005. Available in HTML
: or PDF Collecting 110 -- How to Buy
: a Watch (Part One) -- Practical advice on
: how to do background research, find watches,
: ask seller the tough questions, etc.,
: published in International Watch, June 2005.
: Available in HTML or PDF
: Collecting 110 -- How to Buy a Watch (Part
: Two) -- We complete the purchase, with
: advice on determining value, making the bid,
: paying for the watch and arranging for
: shipment; published in International Watch,
: September 2005. Available in HTML or
: PDF Collecting 120 -- How to Sell a
: Watch (Part One) -- In this article, we
: discuss the collector's "Unspeakable
: Act" -- selling a watch. We help with
: such issues are determining whether to sell,
: selecting the market in which you will sell,
: describing your watch, preparing the watch
: and taking the photographs that will support
: your effort. Available in HTML and
: PDF Also I provide a list of
: watch collecting related links on my
: website which include dealer links,
: informational website links, and even canned
: eBay search links. It exists to serve me,
: and I do realize that many of the links are
: broken -so little time to fix them-, but if
: it serves others, that's great too!

: Any suggestions, advice, hints are most
: appreciated. I hope this is helpful!
