Re: Another 115(3) from the court of Abel

Im no sailor ,but thats a nice 1158.
later...Dom

: Looks nice Shaun. Paint looks good too, which is quite rare on
: these yachting Carreras.

: I've seen maybe 10 second generation Carreras with deci scales now,
: in two variations (numerals on inside or on outside of the
: scale), so I'm happy that it was available from the factory.
: Unlike the first generation, where versions with different
: scales were distinct models (2447 T, 3647 D etc), the default
: appears to be the Tachy bezel, given the vast preponderance of
: that bezel version. Best guess then is that the Deci scale was
: available to special order only.

: Quite why someone would need yachting markings AND a deci scale is
: beyond me, but maybe a sailor amongst us can shed some light on
: it! Or perhaps it's just that the original purchaser liked the
: look of that combo and you can't really blame them for that.
