Manser Ojeh was the man who bought Heuer and rebranded it Tag-Heuer.

David,
great to see someone who is really into those classic watches. Nice that you kind of share my taste, because I´m very happy with my Heuer "Carrera" from the 60`s. Beautiful plain little watch without the "TAG"-branding (although there`s nothing wrong with that...) and even without a display for the date. I really do enjoy winding it up every morning which has become some kind of a ritual.
The Rolex Daytona is another classic racer`s watch, just love the famous classic "Paul Newman"-Daytona, but unfortunately its price has skyrocketed over the last couple of years.
Old Breitlings are another adornment on your wrist, but IMHO some of them in a way look a bit overloaded. A friend of mine who is a commercial flight captain (Airbus A 320) once smiled when saying that many of those big chunky Breitlings (Navytimer etc.) are worn by people who don`t know that much about flying. But who cares, they are beautifully made.
Best,
Marcus
