Paul, Rich,

Today I had the chance to do some reading and looking at pictures again…after I started almost immediately when I received the book…I had some healthy issues (again) and had absolutely no fun in doing anything really (I only reached to page 45 first time due to serious headache…which by the way had nothing to do with your book LoL)…so I just kept working or at least what I was able to LoL I only had the chance again this morning to resume reading and looking with great appetite!

My compliments for both of you guys. While most people will not realize what a work this has actually been for you two…I can imagine. First of all…to get all watches with you to shoot pictures from and then of course the sooo time consuming task of taking pictures. Paul, you have my deepest respect for this and the photographs are real eye candies. You are an artist…making us all dream of our beloved Heuer timepieces. And like Rich said numerous times before…the Autavia series offers such a broad variety of shapes and colors…so many details to look for, subtle differences throughout the various execution of the same reference and you guys had to limit the watches pictured in the book. Also to you Rich…my compliments. You have build up your knowledge very fast in the last couple of years thanks to your eagle eyes and attention to details.

While the information we have right now may not be definite (yet)…it is my humble opinion that overall this book is a great source for every Heuer collector. Retrieving information from production quantities, serials, configurations of a specific watch were not easy…I can imagine that too.

One more thing…as with the Monaco book, and also Arno's book…I also had a "favorite" picture in the Autavia book…page 38…quite a strange photo…but I just love to look at that one!

Well done guys and thanks again,
