Paolo has provided a good list of the "Hot Heuers". We are seeing a "surge" in several models, and the 1163 Autavia GMTs are definitely on the list of "What's Hot".

On the question of whether or not this is a "bubble", I believe that the recent surge will be maintained. Perhaps some models will cool down a little, but I continue to believe that the broader market for vintage Heuers will be strong. We have seen some surges and set-backs, but never a burst to suggest that we had a bubble.

I was out of town and had a couple of flights over the weekend, and used some airplane time to write about the recent strength in the Heuer market. I will hope to publish this soon, as a blog page.

: And the pointed V Siffert over 7100 USD?

: We all consider these prices high, but many Rolex addicted are
