Pushers Replaced; Wouldn't Call It a "Franken"
In Response To: Carrera sold *PIC* ()

I believe that the pushers on all 7753 Carreras were smooth, rather than fluted. So this watch seems to have had the pushers replaced (with fluted ones).

I would not call it a "Franken" . . . just a watch that has had the pushers replaced with incorrect fluted pushers.

Otherwise, the watch appears to be "correct".

: Did any one here buy this nice Carrera ? The only thing that caught my eye was the fluted pushers ! I assume fitted at a later date, or is the watch a franken ? Anyway is a nice piece.
