Newbie says Hi

HI ALL,
I joined this forum yesterday, been wearing a Tag Heuer Carrera Automatic (blue face) for 17 months and love it, with the history of the Carrera name, the famous race and the fact i drive a 911.

However a BURNING BURNING desire to own 'the' most amazing piece of engineering art came a step closer today because i placed a deposit down on a new Sea-Dweller 4000 which will be forever fastened to my wrist very shortly.

Just had to tell someone

Thanks for listening

Mark

I have a 964 C2 (1993) tiptronic. Great car
That is real good news on the SD, great solid engineering a perfect match for your 996.
I have to admit the 993C2S is my favorite as far as aesthetics are concerned

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

I've learnt a huge amount about these fine watches since joining.

Must admit i'm pretty much obsessed with reading about and collecting photo's of Sea Dwellers and hope to add some pics of mine real soon!

Mark.

I tossed around getting a SD but ended up with the Sub as my second watch. That is going to be an awesome watch when it arrives. The Tag will go in a drawer. I know because that's where mine landed was on a watch winder. I wear it bicycling now so as to not wreck my finer watches.

You picked a classic . Let's see some pics when it arrives. We'll all be sitting at our screens drooling .

Welcome to the forum.
