"touch".....that's not the same.

but as you have taken great meticulous care to highlight all the valid points, which I didn't...I doubt TAG really need Dufour.
It was Dufour who walked with me to TAG...at Basel.
It was hard work...to bring TAG to even feeling they needed Dufour.
I see it as the other way around, I possibly may know and spent more time with Dufour than many, but it should be...we should not insult TAG that they needed Dufour (cc to Dufour)...look at Lange IWC and JLC.
Robert Greubel didn't touch those....he was involved. Not touched.
These watches are not easy finds these days. TAG has more to loose....it was 10 years ago...there was no Geneva show yet.
I was working hard with Max Busser, to convince people that AHCI and independents were worth looking at.
I made many mistakes.
I am not the guru.
Postscript:
Singapore we were a colonial island.
I came from poor, zero dollar roots.
Just in case , The famous saying "my grandfather's road" was coined after the Japanese occupation in cantonese for us here, in post war Pahang, but maybe earlier elsewhere....but we did not inherit money from that historical fact.
I didn't get a chance at a good college...I did get into the USA's West-point bec of a lack of money, which I changed for something else. All this I say in humility, to avoid finger pointing.
So...I hope I explained...that as a chinese, I see touch as touch, not anything more.
