I believe that Chuck did not own a 5100 Silverstone, but this Nivada was definitely one of his treasures . . .

: Yes the 510.523 was undoubtedbly among his Heuer favourites and one
: of his all-time, all-brands one from what I remember.
: It has become one of mine as well since I've owned one, it's an
: amazing watch.
: And I have become a L5100 nut myself - I dedicate my wearing a
: Heuer 510.500 today to Chuck's memory.

: Never having had the fortune to meet Chuck, we did exchange a few
: e-mails and he was a very kind guy, always ready to help a chap
: out about a watch - actually, a chronograph.
: We have wonderful hosts and contributors on the Internet now, but
: it is very hard to come close to the passion he put, always
: going the extra mile and contributing so much to so many places.

: I definitely can subscribe to the famous
: "Chuck-made-me-do-it" tag line for a few of my
: purchases, and I can safely state he was the one who unawares
: tipped me over from watch owner to collector.
: We surely miss him, and indeed he kinda lives on in the many fora
: he helped to start or contributed to flourish.
