Question about the TAG Heuer name

Yet Wikipedia doesn't seem to mention this fact - they insist that it's a blend of Techniques d'Avant Garde and the founder's surname.

Haven't seen this one posted here before. I hope it's OK. First a link to the actual article;by OMEGA Watches - Official on Tuesday, June 16, 2009 at 4:28amThe NASA testsThe story of how the OMEGA Speedmaster became the Moonwatch – the only wristwatch approved by NASA for all manned space flights – has been re-told often enough that it is sometimes difficult to determine where the history ends and where the myth begins.The true story, without embellishment, is so remarkable that it’s worth a trip back to the 1960s to re-examine how the Speedmaster came to be considered in the first place, the nature of the strenuous tests to which it and four other chronographs were subjected and finally, how it was chosen over its competitors to accompany every manned space flight since the launch of the Gordon Cooper’s Faith 7 mission as part of the Mercury program on May 15th, 1963.Chosen to competeIt all began in the early 1960s when two NASA officials anonymously visited se

Which one for a gift?
Hi all,One of my employees was working a lot and performed excellent. I also reminded him so many times that he would lose his 5 sick days if he doesn't take them and... he lost them because he wanted to finish an important project.As I value his support and his time, I decided to buy him a Rolex and it would be great if you could help me chose!I am between 2 timeless classics... a SS Sub date vs. a DJ41 Black with Jubilee. Which one would you chose? Currently he has only a GMT Tag and he really deserves an upgrade :)Poll started and thank you for your advise!Note: I've an excellent relationship with my AD and he can get both within a monthAlex
