I've been watching Carreras a lot lately and buyers seem to have gone Carrera mad, spending silly money on them. Silver on silver Carrera 12 just sold for over $3800! Very surprising to see 3 black sub-dialed beauties nonetheless. I guess sellers are monitoring the remarkable spike in prices lately and are acting accordingly.

I actually picked up a relative carrera bargain recently and will post pics later...

: deci-dial model is pretty nice. Of course I
: may be biased since I used to own that one
: and the current seller is using my pics
: without permission. I did get a
: "Courtesy of.." by line in the
: listing so I guessd that makes it all ok.
: Now I know how Chuck feels seeings his work
: all over the place LOL :)!!

: Just to be clear I have no financial link to
: any of the watches or auctions so go crazy
: and bid'em up if you like - or not.

: chime in.

: Best,
