: Once again, David has the inside scoop, on some recent design
: changes on the Cal 1887 Carreras.

: OK . . . I am ready to make the announcement: I think this new
: series of Carreras is gonna be awesome / inspiring / iconic /
: amazing!! Consistent with our discussions of when homages or
: re-issues achieve greatness and when they fail, I see this one
: as a huge winner. Inspired by the original design, with many
: cues in place; further developed consistent with today's
: preferred "look"; reliable, modern movement [we hope]
: . . . Omega had the great Speedmasters in the 1960s, and it
: became the "grail" when powered by the Lemania 5100
: movement [or the Omega equivalent] . . . I think that TAG-Heuer
: may achieve the same thing here, at a price point that will have
: far broader appeal.

: Who agrees / disagrees ? ? ?
