Walter:

thanks for the posting and the question / suggestion. here is my "take" on the subject, which is subject to correction or further comment by the other guys who helped put this forum together.

the organizers of this forum are primarily interested in the pre-TAG era. this is where our collections are focused; this is our knowledge-base, in terms of the history, movements, values, etc. so we are not really limiting the discussion to the pre-TAG era, but suggesting that this is the focus of the forum. in order to have a successful forum, you need to start it with a group of guys who will read / research / respond to questions, and in this instance this group was most interested in the pre-TAG watches. there is also the point that OnThe Dash is limited to the pre-TAG era, so this seemed like the right approach for the forum.

my own view is that we would welcome discussion of any of the Heuers -- Links, Kiriums, Alter Egos, etc . . . I don't even know the names. we just cannot assure our readers that we will have the knowledge-base or the interest / curiosity that will be required to contribute to the discussion.

. . . and then there is also the question of what to do with the "Classics" / re-issues. you will notice considerable interest in the new Autavia, with enthusiastic postings.

so my response on the question of the TAG-Heuers would be "bring it on", and we'll give it a try.

Jeff
