I do not doubt your intentions. But it was not that long ago when someone (usually new to the forum) asked "what is the price of xxx model"
How could you convince and explain to such a person that there are not fixed prices? That photos, coincidence, reputation of the seller, exchange rates and economic environment play a major role in determining the price. People want easy answers and more often that not they don't bother to read the disclaimers. And last but not least most regulars here (me included) would like to think (like DC put it) Heuers to have higher value than they really have, so their estimates could be biased.

I'm sure your intentions are good and your efforts very valuable to all Heuer collectors.

: with all due respect to the critics, I will stand behind the Price
: Guide as being accurate (as of its September 2007 date) and
: useful (for someone who knows what he is reading), and certainly
: not "misleading". It is stating approximations of
: values for the very best samples of these watches, as of
: September 2007. The real point of the Price Guide is not to
: provide the values of particular watches, that will be accurate
: on a current or perpetual basis, but to give the hierarchy of
: Heuer values, and approximations of values, as of a point in
: time.

: to keep it updated would be a full time job; to pull out the dollar
: values, and use only a relative scale (AAAA, AAA, AA, etc.)
: would take away much from its usefulness; to give relative
: values and then publish some sort of multiplier or index,
: becomes very complicated. I believe that most users, who will
: take a couple of minutes to read the introduction, will
: understand the Price Guide and find it useful. Most people will
: understand that if their stock portfolios are down 40%, and the
: value of their home is down 30%, and there is a worldwide
: recession, then these September 2007 values for the Heuers
: require some adjustment.

: Maybe you can call the Price Guide "outdated" or
: "stale", but not "misleading" for the user
: who will take a couple of minutes to understand what it is (and
: what it is not).
