: Something like:

: people who don't notice
: v
: people who just say "nice watch"
: v
: people who see it's a Heuer but just equate that with TAG
: v
: people who realise it's a vintage Heuer
: v
: forumgoers

: So it's a compliment and I normally just take it as such, only
: widening the discussion if it seems they want to or have
: something worth mentioning on their wrist too.

: I've been learning German on and off since age 13, both in
: education and real life, so haven't had any problem with
: pronounciation myself. Some people do say it a bit like they're
: vomiting but I normally know what they mean! They might not
: sound particularly German when they say it, but it's not like I
: say Ferrari in a cod-Italian Super Mario voice either :)

: However, British people saying Porsch instead of Porsche irritates
: me every time I hear it...
