Superb Mark. This is great stuff, finally launched!!!

I only had minor input, but you guys have done a exemplary job on this. I know a lot of toil, headaches and late nights went into putting this together.

Give yourselves a big pat on the back.

Stewart

: Hello all.

: This is to announce the latest addition to Jeff's On The Dash
: site - a reference table detailing the Heuer dive watches that
: came out in the period before the TAG takeover.

: There are watches in the 1000 and 2000 series that may not be
: covered, as they continued into the TAG-Heuer era but we carried
: on with the OTD focus of watches from before the latest
: ownership era.

: For those wanting to get straight into the table and not read
: all of my preamble(!), it can be found here:

: http://www.onthedash.com/docs/DiveWatchRefTable.html

: and also incorporated into the MOAT (Mother of All Tables) at:
: http://www.onthedash.com/Guide/Master_Reference.php4

: I personally think this is a great addition to OTD. Information on
: the divers was perhaps a little lacking there before and this is
: always an area that has stirred the interest of a number of
: collectors within the community and there are a number who
: consider divers their favourite Heuers. Of course, there is a
: lot of diversity within this range of watches, so to say divers
: are a favourite might be a little misleading - there is more
: diversity than I expected at the outset, to be honest, and some
: watches are quite unique within Heuer's output. Where else in
: the range will you find a bright orange dial, or one covered
: completely in lume material?

: I noticed an increase in interest in, and questions about, the
: various divers in the middle of last year (2009). This inspired
: me to go and create a spreadsheet of divers from those that
: appeared in catalogues and price lists, with the aim of creating
: a reference table for them. It was pretty obvious that my
: knowledge of divers would be far too vague to create a
: definitive table and we soon engaged with some people more
: expert in the field.

: The table then is a collaborative effort between these experts:

: Paul Gavin, David Chalmers, Jarl Rehn-Erichsen, Marius Jensen
: and Stewart Morley, all of who provided the bulk of the
: input for the table on details, differences and layout

: and myself, providing that initial input and experience of having
: gone through all this on the Carrera table and, of course, Jeff
: with his usual searching questions and putting the whole thing
: together on the OTD site.

: We hope that it's useful and enjoyable.

: But! I called it a definitive table above, but in our world of
: collecting that is quite possibly never true. What we would
: welcome now is your input to the table, whether that be
: comments, questions, photos, serial numbers and all the other
: suggestions and information that will help us build a great
: divers section on OTD.

: Contact details for the owners of the table are included on the
: linked pages above - first contacts are Paul Gavin and Jeff
: Stein, who (I am told) will welcome all your inputs. I too look
: forward to the influx of pics and threads concerning divers in
: the weeks and months to come; Jeff was even thinking of buying
: one to add to his collection!

: Now, go read!
