Superb Rich, that Carrera has always caught my eye with it's Autavia-ish sibdials.

That's the best photo I've seen of this model!!

Cheers

: Well maybe I have and although I'm still totally addicted to
: Monacos I've recently been branching out into other Heuers and
: have completed my Autavia mini collection. But look what I've
: gone and done now...I have a Carrera too! I think perhaps too
: much Christmas Port and Armagnac Is to blame, just as well the
: bottles are almost empty!

: On a serious note It was after seeing PG's example some time ago
: that this became my favourite 70s Carrera dial and so big thanks
: to Francesco for this beauty. I love the orange contrasts for 15
: minute timing (hence the moniker coined by Mark Moss as the
: Yahting Carrera!) and the dial Is something else. As PG pointed
: out It's not a sahde of metallic blue replicated by ay other
: Heuer that I have seen and goes a beautiful colour In the sun
: (of which there is none in the UK today!). Not the same colour
: as the 1553B/1153N nor any metallic Monaco.

: I guess the inevitable will now happen and although this Is the
: only 70s Carrera that floats my boat, I can now see me wanting a
: 60s panda dial Carerra next!

: A happy weekend to all...now where is that Port :-)

: Cheers
