Re: Watson Received Autavia 11630; And Did He Wear It?

Jeff, it's in issue 55 and is called "Fast Lane".

I didn't buy the magazine, I just flicked through it in a newsagents while I was bored. So I'm afraid I didn't read the article, seeing reference to a 1976 Tag Heuer put me off. I assume Watson was at a race when he was interviewed, the editor of the magazine presumably only went to one and just worked with what was there.

I suppose it would be possible to contact him and get some more information.

: Can you please tell us which issue this is in . . . is it issue
: 55 or issue 56? I'm not certain, based on a review of the QP
: website. Maybe you can show us the cover, just to be sure?

: One question: Watson was awarded this watch for winning the Formula
: One race, but I wonder whether he wore it subsequently (or did
: it reside in his "sock drawer")? Any ideas or photos
: showing Watson actually wearing this Autavia? Maybe the article
: tells us more of the story?

: Jeff
