Re: Interesting Discussion re 5100-Powered Silverstones

: The gentlemen over at the VetroPlastica vintage Heuer discussion
: forum are having spirited debate about the authenticity of a
: particular Lemania 5100-powered Silverstone. The tempers flare,
: some rough language is exchanged (along with some excellent
: information) . . . perhaps someone will sort through all 56
: messages and provide us with a summary!!

: I don't know whether it is even possible to provide a summary of
: this discussion, so I will leave it to our readers to visit
: VetroPlastica and come to their own conclusions!!

Hello Jeff!

What do you think about the Silverstone 510.403 Lemania affair?

I think that fishbone blue dials, wich I've seen till now, are reprinted.
Someone, in last summer, find many case and dials and put together to create some Frankenstein, or "Summer 2009 Silverstones"...
Some watches without serials and reference are good, last Heuer's production (agree with Pascal)
Watches all signed are the firts stock production, maybe with different hands (my opinion), looking also the all signed Silverstone (like mine) in that interessing webpage: http://www.chronomaddox.com/heuer/watches/wrist/silverstone/5012/SilverstoneRef.510.403_5041077819.pdf

The most important thing is talking about this beautifull watch and discover together all his secrets, for what we can...
