As we're having a bit of a "love - in" i'd like to add my thanks to the forum for accepting another newbie in and making me feel welcome( i know some had reservations about my email address!). This forum isn't like many, which can be rather snobbish and excuding but the direct opposite and i think it reflects well on all of you and the brand in general. I have learnt an enormous amount in the past few weeks and look froward to becoming a fully fledged HEUER nut in the future. Hopefully you will all remain patient with me and my lack of knowledge of the coming months!

So a big thanks from me...

: Guys:

: Just a quick note to thank everyone for the fantastic participation
: on this Forum in recent weeks. We have some great participation
: from the "old timers", some amazing messgaes and
: images from new contributors, and we see the volume and
: quality of messages at an all-time high. Of course,
: with the Spring season, we have headlines coming from Basel,
: where TAG-Heuer is making us proud (even if we prefer our dials
: without the screws and racing stripes).

: We also have some exciting new projects underway at OnTheDash.
: There have been hints relating to some of these projects [for
: example, the increased references to serial numbers in recent
: weeks], others have come out a bit sooner than planned [the Cal
: 11 / Cal 11-I / Cal 12 manifesto], and other projects will
: remain surprises [so no hint at all here in the brackets]. I
: believe that all these projects support our brand and enhance
: the collecting experience.

: Of course, economic times are difficult, and I am sure that many in
: our community have suffered losses (financial, psychological,
: and otherwise). Still, we seem to be having a good time with our
: old Heuers. Sometimes, I can find the same satisfaction in
: researching, photographing and writing, as in buying the
: watches, and I expect that others in our community are also
: enjoying sharing information and insights, as much as we share
: the watches. Well, almost as much!!

: So let's keep it up with the amazing discussions and images, and
: we'll all enjoy Springtime in (Vintage) Heuer Land. Of course,
: "Heuer Land" is wherever you have the computer and the
: modem . . . which is one of the great things about this
: community!!
