Great points, Shaun. As my father likes to say, "we are all snowflakes", individuals with different tastes. That blue SS if gorgeous.

: As someone said, opinions of the Silverstone are polarised.

: Personally, I love the Silverstone, and if I had to choose to only
: wear one vintage Heuer for the rest of my life, it would be the
: blue Silverstone. The Red and Fume are very cool as well.

: I know the Carrera and Autavias are the true classic Heuers, but
: they are not that unique; there are some nice Zeniths that are
: pretty close to Carreras, and there are cool Breitlings and
: R*lexes that are close to Autavias. The Monaco is a true icon,
: but there are quite alot of Monaco inspired watches around
: (hello B&R), not to mention the hundreds of different Monaco
: reissue models that TAG-Heuer released, so the uniqueness of the
: Monaco has been diminished.

: But it is not really an intellectual argument, you either think
: they are the ultimate early 1970s cool, or you think they are an
: weird lump. Maybe it's this polarisation that attracts me to the
: Silverstone!
