My late Fathers silver dial 2000 was the watch that started my love affair with Heuer 10yrs ago.
Thank you sharing Jeff.

: Here's an excellent posting on Fratello Watches, about the TAG
: Heuer Series 2000 that belonged to Bill Gates --
: https://www.fratellowatches.com/how-bill-gatess-tag-heuer-ended-up-with-a-watch-enthusiast/
: Of course, the best part of the story is how the watch came to be
: owned by a passionate watch collector, who posts on Instagram as
: @WatchYouWearin . Well done, Johann!!
: Interesting that Bill Gates and Barack Obama both selected these
: TAG Heuer dive watches, in the late 1980s / early 1990s. Series
: 1500 for Obama and Series 2000 for Gates.
: These TAG Heuer dive watches were what many young businessmen /
: attorneys might have bought, when they were just starting their
: careers.
: And let's not forget Marlon Brando, around this same time, but
: that's another story for another day.
