Congratulations on your new 2447T. The T and D models of first generation, first execution Carreras are certainly a little more rare than the S, but a lot less rare than the P. Today finding any first generation is an accomplishment. Having the "Fab Suisse" is a matter of personal preference and I do not believe adds any premium over and above a regular 2447T . Serial number range is just fine as I have had several "Fab Suisse" between 70,XXX and 90,XXX.

: Hello guys,

: I've picked up a spectacular 2447T today, I'm really chuffed. I
: have been researching it a bit, but they're quite rare and I
: haven't found a lot of information on it (apart the excellent
: articles on Calibre 11 & Onthedash).
: I was wondering if a 77xxx case serial is OK with a "fab
: suisse" dial. I am unsure if these dials are meant to be
: early (I've understood that the first 2447T start around the
: 5XXXX mark), or were they only made for the french market ? (I
: live in France, so it would make sense for my watch to be this
: way). Do they carry a "premium" over other Mark 1
: dials ?

: I'll post some decent pictures tonight or tomorrow, even if it is
: on the ugliest strap ever ... It just misses the inner chapter
: ring, which should arrive soon, and once it will be complete, it
: will be a kick-ass Heuer!
: Looking forward to getting some feedback, thanks guys!
