Only three?
In Response To: 1st owners , where are you...? ()

: where are the heuer lovers who have remained faithfully to their
: heuer since the first day ?

It seems that just three have turned up. But there must be more out there.

In my case I had no idea that old Heuers were collectable or valuable, and if I had been asked before May this year what my watch's reference was I would not have understood the question, let alone known the answer. It was just the comments made while I was wearing it trying to find first a new crystal (I called it a "glass" then) and then someone to service my dead Seamaster that made me start searching the internet.

What to do? How about trying to get articles into the more venerable of the motor-sport magazines? The ones we (OK, I) read in the 1960s and 70s. Motor Sport (UK), Autosport (UK), Auto Motor und Sport (DE) (still going?), Autoweek (US) (still going?), R&T (US) (still going?), etc. There is a splendid archive of relevant pictures, nostalgia-R-us.

I'm a computer hacker (old meaning) not a writer though -- is anyone inclined to have a go?
