Re: Thoughts on Autavia 2017? High expectations.
In Response To: Thoughts on Autavia 2017? ()

Hi guys,
There has been lots to do around this Autavia 2017.
Personally I am asking myself if expectations aren't just too high.
What are we expecting really? A re-edition that is as good as one of those wonderful sixties Autavia's?
Really? Come on guys. Look at all the re-editions Tag has come up with so far.
Are we buying them?
Omega has some great re-edition Speedmasters. Really stunning watches.
But who is buying them? Real vintage lovers like we are? Think not.
Can't Tag just release a watch that has everything we love? Things we can find in the real vintage models?
Of course they can. But will they? Of course not. Don't ask me why. The answer is easy.
Cheers,
B
