We've already traded emails regarding the Heuer patch, but you had not shared the images of your Siffert. What a gem you've purchased from one of the very best!
Congratulations again, Joe,
Bob Keller

I just want to share and say thanks to this forum.

: I have been looking on and off for about 8 years for the right
: 'Siffert'. I quite quickly I came across this board and although
: I've just lurked it has taught me so much about vintage Heuers,
: what to look for, what's right and what's wrong.
: Most importantly its shown me who the trusted sellers are and who
: are the right service people are.

: So thanks to all you super knowledgeable users for all the
: discussions I've followed and read over the years.

: I had for a while resigned myself to the fact that a perfect
: Siffert was out of my reach, as the years went on the more I put
: a side the more the the prices jumped up. I looked towards cheap
: ebay examples with dubious pedigree, some battered examples and
: a few put togethers.
: But at the end of last year I had a bit of life luck and finances
: where not a problem, so now it was a case of finding the right
: example. I wanted clean but not so clean I could not wear it
: regularly.

: A few weeks ago a small package was delivered. It was sent by one
: Abel Court and I had my grail...

: Oh and if it seems strange that I 'must have a 'Siffert' over all
: other classic Heuer's especially as this is my first Heuer, it
: might be easier to understand if you know my name is Joe
: Siffert...

: Siffert is my middle name, my father much respected and followed
: Jo.

: He was at Brands when Jo died. I came along a few months later and
: was given his name.

: Thanks
