There's a new group of collectors out there. For better or worse, they want these old Heuers.

There's a new group of dealers out there. They are becoming familiar with the Heuers, finding them, and supplying them to the new wave of collectors.

These dealers have full-time staffs and offices in Manhattan. That can be expen$ive.

But the new collectors are willing to pay the higher price$ charged by the dealer$, in order to get the nice watche$.

I'm OK with all this, and understand the "new" market for these old watches, but of course I am happier if I can buy at wholesale / on eBay / privately.

There are many different markets, and we have to expect the Manhattan retail market, with experts finding / checking the watches, to be at the top of the food chain.

: Nice to see that photo with some really great pieces, including
: three 3647T Carreras. But the one on their site is ridiculously
: priced at $6,200 - approximately twice the going rate! Why do we
: seem to see this with Heuers in particular - is our passion
: going "mainstream" finally?

: Of course, it is a beautiful piece - just like the one on my wrist
: as I type this :)
