Andee:

Thank you for posting this message and engaging with our community, in which you have been such an important contributor. Most of your work was behind the scenes, but we could have never straightened out the Camaros without your expertise and engagement.

One key phrase that you use -- pointing out that the amazing Autavia will be going to a private collector. I have had messages asking whether it was either TAG Heuer or a dealer making the purchase. Of course, I am happiest when it goes to a collector who will enjoy the watch. This also shows strength, when we see private buyers rather than corporate budgets buying the watches.

We wish you every success in completing this transaction and thank you for your contributions here!!

: dear greg,

: i have received your email. thank you very much.
: sorry for the late reply but i had to take some hours off today
: after that tsunami of emails and messages that came in
: yesterday.
: ..still not all answered yet.

: so i totally understand that lots of collectors are interested in
: the whole story,
: but i would please you for your understanding, that i have to keep
: discretion until the deal is finally done,
: and also after it if the buyer wants it so. i believe that´s the
: duty of a professional dealer.

: i would like to leave it to the new owner if he is willing to
: present the watch and it´s story to the public.
: there are a lot of collectors who prefer silence after they have
: bought.

: the only things i can tell are, that this piece goes to a private
: collector,
: and that there are still several others in the line which were too
: late and would also have loved to buy it at full price.

: hope that´s at least some little more info for now.

: thanks and enjoy your day guys! ;)
