welcome aboard, and congratulations on this wonderful acquisition. yes, everyone has heard of McQueen . . . the true enthusiasts hold Siffert in the same realm. without Seppi, no Steve!!
it is interesting how some people read, and study, and learn, and analyze, and then they become almost intoxicated with the information . . . and they proceed to make the purchase.
for others, it can be more of an impulse purchase or even a purely emotional experience.
we welcome all the enthusiasts . . . we love all their stories . . . we enjoy the community becoming wider and deeper!!

: ...picked up my first Siffert yesterday. Not the same day as the
: anniversary of JS's departure I know. But close enough for me to
: feel 'significance' after reading this post, particularly given
: the time I have waited to obtain my own Siffert.
: One thing is for sure, though I fell in love with the beauty of the
: watch initially, after purchasing and significant desktop
: research (and waiting (im)patiently for Paypal to clear...5
: days!!!) it is now the pedigree of the Siffert that provides a
: large part of its appeal to me. The JS legend has such
: understated cool (perhaps more than McQueen??) and appeal that I
: can attest that his life and achievements will definitely live
: on...at the least through me...a relative new-comer. I think
: that's something Heuer and OTD can be proud of.
