Re: Current purchasing value of Carrera

Mark

Much appreciated. May I ask in what way the barrel Carreras wear differently. I won't have the opportunity to try one on. If they are bulky on the wrist, that's ok. That could make them top heavy and cause them to want to move over the side of the wrist. By the way, whereas advertisements always mention the case size of other Carreras with these I have never seen any mention of the size.

: I think the watch we're discussing is from a seller who also
: frequents the forum :) So I'll refrain from discussing an offer
: strategy. He is however a genuine and serious guy, so there
: can't be any harm in opening with a genuine, serious offer.

: The Côtes de Genéves dials are stunning in the metal (all these
: have CdG dials bar the PVD model) and this example looks to have
: a fine one (on the iPhone atm so not as easy to see fine
: detail).

: The price of barrels is probably only going to go in one direction
: this year, so getting in now isn't a bad idea. If anyone
: planning that has the chance to try one on first, I do urge
: that, these wear very differently from 1st and 2nd gen Carreras.
