Jeff you think our beloved specialists as Hans, Derek, Lang did parts watches ? What makes you think the albino is a parts watch ?
:

Quoting Arno: "Back to the fluted pushers discussion, as
: Jeff stated the fluted pushers were standard replacement, if
: that would be the case we would see all serviced Carreras with
: the fluted design, which is not the case."

: There are two very simple explanations: (a) Heuer made some
: fluted pushers for the Carreras for the service departments, and
: then went back to the smooth ones, and (b) not every watch that
: went in for servicing came out with replacement pushers. [As an
: aside, I am also wary of some watches that come from the
: "Heuer people" . . . the people with access to the
: parts bins and craftsmen have created some interesting and
: creative watches, but these are also not as they left the
: factory. This is just a guess, but perhaps the
: "Albino" Siffert is in this category?]

: I will stand by my belief that all the 2447s left the factory with
: smooth pushers, whether headed for the United States or other
: markets. I have nothing against "service parts" as
: such, but I would value a Carrera 2447 with fluted pushers
: accordingly and do not believe that such a watch could be called
: "all original".
