Welcome, Tony . . . We Love the Celebrity Visits
In Response To: Re: Yes, Same Mac Tilton! ()

Welcome, Tony!! Thank you so much for posting this message.

We love the visits from the celebrities, having had messages here from the CEO of TAG Heuer, the head of TAG Heuer in the US, and representatives of the leading auction houses (Antiquorum, Christies and Bonhams). But we all love the stories from the racers, and you might be the first world class racer to visit us. Bradley has been great in sharing information, and taking good care of your old watches, but we do want to roll out the red carpet to welcome you.

So thanks for posting the message, and I know that I speak for all our readers in inviting you to continue the discussion about the good old days and the great old Heuers!

Thanks again,

Jeff
