Silverstone Re-Issue . . . Origin in This Forum

Over the weekend, I was reading an article in the February 2010 issue of WatchTime magazine, about the new Silverstone. A portion of the article reads as follows:
    Babin reveals that the decision to resurrect the Silverstone was in large part due to the influence of the original watch's fervent fans and its popularity on Internet forums. "We knew we were going to do another reissue for the anniversary," he recalls. "The only question was, which one? We selected four or five old models and started a discussion online. When we saw the passion for the Silverstone, the choice was obvious."
Actually, Jean-Christophe written about this on our forum, on December 22, but I think that most of us missed his message, as it was during the Christmas holiday week.
    Hi guys ! It's JC, the CEO of TAG Heuer. Happy to be with you again. We indeed kicked off the 150 years of Heuer/TAG Heuer in McLaren Technology Center on Dec 2nd and introduced, besides the new Caliber 1887 chronograph movement, the stunning Silverstone Cal 11 (Dubois-Depraz / TAG Heuer) replicas with crown at 9:00, Heuer logo both on dial and on oscillating mass (in red !!!) with 2 dials: a brown and a blu. It's really a "WAOUH" piece and one you all should be proud of on Onthedash.com as the idea came from you when I asked two years ago.....!!!!
So well done, to all our readers and writers . . . and well done to TAG-Heuer for considering the views and passion of the vintage community!!
