Hello Gianluca,
no patience needed, it's simply great fun.
Enjoy the watch.

: Hi all,

: this post is to share with you my latest found, a NOS professional
: diver quartz 1000m TAG Heuer 980.023N from circa 1986, found
: this afternoon during a visit at an ex TAG Heuer dealer…

: Let’s start saying immediately that, until now and since I’ve
: started collecting watches (TAG before and Heuer later), I never
: owned and wanted a quartz watch, and less a diver watch… I
: always liked chrono watches, better if automatic ones (but also
: here my taste is changing), and always seen quartz watches as
: cheap and unclassy ones… until today…

: A couple of weeks ago I found another quartz diver one, a NOS Heuer
: PVD 980.026, that I let go and sold here on Chronotrader last
: week, but honestly I have remained a bit fascinated by this kind
: of tool watches (unusual for me that I never considered diver
: watches as “my cup of tea”)… today, seeing this in the
: metal, I started considering them… and found that are cool and
: sporty :-)

: Surfing the web I found these two beautiful articles, one from our
: Stewart Morley (Stewart hope you don’t mind if I put a link to
: your beautiful article) and another one from David Chalmers from
: Calibre11 website, so will not tell you anything about this cool
: watch (who collects diver ones will already know everything
: about the super-professional and 1000m ultimate tool diver
: watches, the other ones can read below everything there is to
: know):

: As I will never be able to make photos as Stewart is, I beg your
: perdon in advance and will let the images speak for me.

: Neither the booklet nor the box probably are the correct one (I
: think the cylindrical box is the right one) but this I have had
: from the dealer (it had a big confusion into his shop store) and
: I think is cooler than the right one (you can find the same
: earlier box with “Heuer” logo only):

: It has 20mm lugs so I think I will try also a black Tropic rubber
: strap..

: So finally I have found the watch to wear this summer on the beach
: ;-)

: Thanks you all for the patience if arrived until here.

: Cheers.
