Agreed, We Need to Go Deeper. Maybe We Add the "O" Category

I agree that we need to go deeper, down the Heuer line-up. I get a lot of e-mail messages, with the writer asking why his beloved Viceroy / Pasadena / Verona / Kentucky / etc. is not included in the Price Guide. Instead of adding a "C" group, maybe we go with "O" . . . standing for the "Other" popular models that do not meet the minimum value to be in the single-B category (say, $1,800), but are of sufficient interest / popularity that we want to include them in the Price Guide. Of course, we will not cover every model, but we will cover the most popular models.

How does this sound to our readers?

: Hello Jeff, I do agree that the format is already the right one and
: that a simple, neat classification of the watch conditions (4
: levels as you suggest)would be the only changes to the table
: format.
: I am 100% with you also as for the idea of 'expanding' the list:
: here I think we might be a little bolder even.
: Since there are a few regulars here why not try to cover a greater
: number of models? The current list is a descending one in terms
: of value, but of course a lot of the commoner models out there
: may not ever make it. So I thought that, at least for those
: models where the market is or has been deep enough, providing a
: estimate even if the value is low can be of great help.
: It could be a simpler form than for the ABC segments, say one
: median value only as we have now for the current version.
: Still all those Viceroys, Pasadenas, 510.50x etc. would then be
: assigned a ballpark value to help the neophyte or anyway the one
: not so expert on that particular model line. Certainly a line
: would have to be drawn somewhere, but it would be easy: e.g.
: include all the ones that have been officially given pictures in
: the OdT gallery (save the 'very early' ones of 1930's etc.)
: Of course this would mean a much greater effort, but as a group
: this effort could be split among different people: I would be
: more than happy to help, for one. And I am sure most of us
: would, as we already do when a spot quotation is requested.
: Just an idea, of course, my 2c.
: Cheers.
: Fabrizio
