Re: I tend to agree
In Response To: Re: Silverstone ()

Silverstones are performing better than last year, prices have gone up steadily - but not spectacularly. Perhaps 10%+

The demand seems to be centred around bordeaux variants, less so fume. Blue are a bit rarer than bordeaux variants but without a doubt right now bordeaux is most requested.

I expect interest to continue at least until post Bonhams auction and guess much will depend on the 1/1 Red Silverstone price achieved. My hunch would be that if the hammer price is at or above the £8k estimate we may well see Silverstone values increase further. Of course there may well be a general increase in Heuers post Bonhams auction, in fact i expect the rarer variants and nos Heuers to increase further...i guess the real question is will this hold for the medium term or drop back down as per Omegamania.

Cheers

: Meertz had the best part of the bottom left-hand shelf in the

: Using Meertz is a good choice there, because they had the same
