RE: Bring it back...
Hi Art,
You and Porsche are thinking alike. While they are not bringing back air cooled engines, or the 72 911Carrera, they are bring out a car that borrrows much from that car's looks. Its the 911 Sport Classic equipped with the "ducktail" spoiler and fuchs style alloy wheels. Unfortunately, a few reports said it will not be available in the US and its price is pretty steep at a projected $169,000 Euros.
Best regards,
Dino

I've been running a little campaign to revive the Upstream click here But it is a 2-edged sword of damocles: On one hand, I would love to see a re-edition for the sheer enjoyment for Piaget fans. On the other hand, it would dilute my investment in an icon...
Revive it!
For the good of the many, at the expense of the few! That is the most charitable course of action, yes? The salmon dial is very handsome, also! I know your thoughts on that, of course... LOL! Daos
I'd definitely revive it with a re-edition if there's enough demand
Just like how many brands have made re-editions of former past models. My 2 cents, Anthony
Bring it back . . .

Well, at that price, they might as well throw in a '72 . . .
. . . just to sweeten the deal ;-) . . .
Nice comparisons
The Upstream is very cool piece of Piaget history. Its been several years since I've seen one in person. BTW, great skit, although one of my co-worker prefers "The Cheese Shop." Best regards, Dino
