: It looks as though the consensus here is that the next "Big
: Thing" should be an update of the Price Guide. So let me
: ponder the best methodology for getting your input and price
: ideas, and we can start the project soon . . . maybe with a
: September [something] launch date.

: Before we get into the actual prices, I wonder whether there are
: any "structural" suggestions for the Price Guide? One
: thing that I have been considering is whether, in addition to
: the Price Guide itself, we should select a limited number of
: "bellweather" (or standard) Heuer chronographs, and
: try to track price in these more actively. For example, should
: the five "bellweathers" (or standards) be the: Monaco
: 1133B, Carrera 2447S, Autavia 1163T (Siffert), Autavia 1163V
: (Viceroy) and Silverstone (Cal 12 Red)? Maybe these are the
: ones that serve as market leaders, or at least very good
: indicators / snapshots of where the market is at any given time?
: For example, if you will tell me the fair market price of these
: five watches, then I will have a pretty good idea of where many
: other Heuers will be priced. Are there other structural
: suggestions that would make the Price Guide more useful?

: Thoughts?

: Thanks,

: Jeff

: from http://www.investorglossary.com/bellwether.htm --

: A bellwether stock is a stock that is generally viewed an an
: indicator of overall market or sector direction. IBM, for
: instance, is a bellwether stock in the computer sector while
: Intel is a bellwether stock in the chip sector. A bellwether
: stock is considered a market trendsetter. Since a bellwether
: stock is widely perceived as an indicator of market direction,
: when a bellwether stock in any sector slips, the entire sector
: may see an overall drop in prices. Conversely, when a bellwether
: stock goes up in price, an entire sector may ride up on its
: coattails. Bellwether stocks are generally considered to be blue
: chip stocks and are typically heavily-traded. The largest
: bellwether stocks (i.e. Wal-Mart, GE, etc.) are viewed by some
: investors as a gauge for the entire economy / market.
