I would like to add one point:

: I am going to keep it simple and relatively brief but here goes:-

: 1) The vast choice in watches.
: There seems a significant amount of case shapes,styles and colours
: to choose from, can quite easily have half a dozen or so
: completely different watches but all Heuer

: 2) The relative cost of this Hobby/Obsession.
: I am a working man, I do alright but do not earn bucket loads of
: cash, but the cost of heuers means I can buy them occasionally
: without going without- family and home first-watches second

: 3) The people.
: This forum in particular makes me feel comfortable in being able to
: persue this hobby without being ripped off.There is invaluable
: information here from the On the Dash section, and also the
: members who all seem more than happy to help.

4) Discovery and research
Almost every week this very forum shows a new discovery which immediately gets thoroughly discussed. Even a long-time collector may be surprised, let alone a Heuer greenhorn like me.

In a former life I collected vintage IWC watches until it got more and more boring. In the vintage Heuer area there are more exciting opportunities on both sides of the thin line between rare, previously unseen piece and put-together horror.

Cheers,

Mick
