I was hoping that you would point out the volume at the Heuer forums, which I was aware was as active as ever.

If I may be so bold, vintage Heuers have never been about what was fashionable; and thus prices were not been driven to stratospheric levels, generally speaking. Some undistinguished models prices seems to have receded a bit (Viceroys, I think you pointed out), but the vintage Heuer market as a whole is generally pretty stable and it's audience continues relatively unabated.

I think that ultimately it may decline for the reasons I cite in my other post, but Heuer collectors have a different flavor of obession that is somewhat immune to current fashion trends.
