Let's start at the beginning: www.VetroPlastica.it is a website dedicated to vintage Rolex watches. There, you will find excellent information on the vintage Rolex sport watches -- Submariner, Sea-Dweller, Milgauss, Turn-O-Graph, etc. "VetroPlastica" means "plastic crystal", which we know is one of the hallmarks of our beloved vintage watches of the 50's and 60's (before the sapphire crystals). So that is the main section of VetroPlastic, a database of information about the vintage Rolex watches. Think of this as the OnTheDash for the vintage Rolexes.

In addition to its informational sections, VetroPlastica has a series of discussion forums. There are forums dedicated to vintage Rolex and vintage watches, in general, and a few months ago they started a vintage Heuer discussion forum. These forums are primarily in Italian, but it seems that postings in English are welcomed. The participants are very passionate about their Heuers, and the forum is very lively.

Perhaps the vintage Heuer discussion forum Moderators will introduce themselves over here . . . in addition to Arno, moderators include Gianvittorio and Paolo. Maybe some other participants will also say "hello" and tell us about themselves (in English or in Italian).

I believe that the VetroPlastica vintage Heuer discussion forum and the Chronocentric vintage Heuer discussion forum will do very well together, and make good contributions to each other. Already, we share some photos, some information, some links, etc. Yes, we share the same passion for the Heuers, so it is great to share some of these other elements that make this community such a great place!! The VetroPlastica crowd has also created an owners club, which will have its first meeting (in Italy) this Friday evening.

I hope that all our readers will enjoy the VetroPlastica vintage Heuer forum and that the VetroPlastica guys will also participate in this Chronocentric forum and in OnTheDash.

Welcome to all the Italian Heuer enthusiasts!!
