Why vintage? I'll show you. *PIC*

I was looking at the TAG Heuer page on another watch discussion group, and they had one of those "Show your collection" threads.
I read it from beginning to end. Several dozen watches.
And except for a couple of nice vintage pieces, and a couple of Carrera and Monaco reissues, there wasn't one watch that I would wear.
I don't mean buy at a market price. Or even a reasonable discount. I mean that If someone *gave* me any of these watches, I wouldn't wear it instead of my $27 Timex chrono.
If it's not an homage to an old watch, IMHO there's a very high "what were they thinking factor?" to most modern TAGs.
