If it was written two or three years ago it might make sense...but I think he is a bit late to the game.

: A few days ago, I discovered a new dealer website -- Ben Wright
: Vintage Watches -- that lists some beautiful vintage
: chronographs, including a nice selection of Heuers. The design
: of the website and the watch photography are beautiful; have a
: look at the screen capture, below.

: I thought that members of our community might like to read the
: "About" section of the website, so I have pasted it
: below: In 1985, as an auctioneer with Christie’s, I cut my
: teeth cataloguing wristwatches and pocket watches, and ever
: since I have collected vintage wristwatches, albeit in a very
: small way.

: When my attention was drawn to vintage Heuer wristwatches, I
: realised, as I hope you will, that this is a fascinating
: collectors’ market with enormous potential.

: Some facts about the Vintage Heuer market: Vintage Heuer is today
: a woefully undervalued market It has a brilliant Formula 1
: Racing history, linked to famous racing drivers like Joe
: Siffert, Gilles Villeneuve, Jochen Rindt, Nikki Lauda, and more
: recently, Lewis Hamilton. The models are varied, colourful and
: exciting to wear. Not everyone has one, but everyone seems to
: have a Rolex. The recent publication Heuer Autavia chronographs
: 1962-1985 by Richard Crosthwaite and Paul Gavin brilliantly
: outlines the famous Autavia models and is now the Heuer
: collectors’ ‘bible’. Some of the rarer Autavias are
: directly compared to Rolex – particularly the Daytona. But
: whilst the Daytona’s were made large quantities, by comparison
: vintage Heuers were made in tiny batches. The collecting
: fraternity are always looking for a new undervalued
: up-and-coming market – Heuer fits the bill. OK, folks . .
: . what do we think of this assessment? Good / bad / indifferent
: to have dealers coming into our little world, with this outlook?
: Is the recent explosion in prices attributable -- in part -- to
: new dealers arriving and building their inventories? Are they
: selling to short-term traders or long-term investors?
