    An interesting little tidbit tucked into this Quill & Pad article about Eric Singer's favourite watches at Baselworld.

    “Kiss Drummer And Watch Collector Eric Singer’s Baselworld 2017 Top 10” via @watchville

    The interesting part for me was this comment:

    "Singer loves the “Heritage” section of TAG Heuer’s modern offerings and was immediately smitten by the new Autavia, which was certainly eagerly awaited by fans of the brand.

    A slightly differently styled version of this watch is due to be introduced a little later in the year, and that is actually the one that he prefers."

    What could the tweaks they are referencing be? My wish would be to replace the GMT bezel with a countdown timer, which as someone who travels only infrequently, I find to be a much more useful complication.

    Could they jettison the date wheel? Narrow the bezel? Different colours?

    Probably the Jack Heuer edition.

    That was already announced and I wouldn't refer to it as slightly differently styled, but definitely possible.

    I'm thinking the same but dreaming of them doing one with a thinner bezel.

    I'm on the fence on pulling the trigger with this watch. Reason? I want a ceramic bezel! So I'm praying to the gods for this to happen!
