great that finally this Reedition Silverstone is coming out to honour the fantastic period of the race history of Heuer in the 70 ties.
i ll defnetly vote for the rare blue dial version, the colour is fantastic.. i ve seen both versions months ago in production and in the design deptm. at TagHeuer in meetings, i was very excited for a long time and had to keep qiute antill today.
But Jean Christophe the design -deptm- people took a origl. Silverstone Case from 1974 and copied it 100% demensions, color and even put on the rare origl. Heuer Logo on the dial..... made a fantastic job on this reedition ( glas bottom is Ok for me to optic and view the nice movement, a nice option in a hard market in 2010 )
but why in hell, in my personal opinion, didnt they use the origl. fluded Puschers ,
a brand mark design from Heuer on all their Chrono modells in the 70 ties, ( these fluded Pushers are even on stock at TagHeuer aftersale- dept for the older Silverstone Modells available) and fitted instead rund and not so nice looking pushers, its just a detail what i dont understand ..... anyway... well done Jean Christophe and the hole TagHeuer team, i bet this watch will be a great succuss too

: Hello Forum friends,
: Enthusiasm is so high for this "Collector" piece that we
: will advertise it in the USA in Wall Street Journal and USA
: Today ! Would you suggest the blu or the brown dial as flagship
: packshot to be inserted ? Silverstone is probably the boldest
: and most emblematic design of TAG Heuer story in terms of
: mirroring our DNA. A kind a "Square in the Circle"
: making the synthesis of iconic Carrera and Monaco; neither
: square nor round and still nowadays unique in its kind ! The
: re-edition is a real masterpiece with its faithfull-to-history
: face and its back sapphire letting see a beautiful and discreet
: red HEUER logo on the mass charging the Dubois-Depraz-TAG Heuer
: Calibre 11.
: Over the weekend, I was reading an article in the February 2010
