This two register "Panda" was rare in three ways, Carrera "30" rather than the more common "45", decimal minutes version, and the contrasting registers ("Panda"). I'm not sure that we have seen this exact execution, demonstrating once again that there were so many different executions of the 1960s Carreras, with relatively low production of some of the executions. And this one seems to be all original / in very nice condition.

It seems to me that we have seen strong prices recently for some two register Carreras. This was the second one this week above $2,200. The "old days", when the two register guys sold for a smaller fraction of the price of the three register guys, were not so long ago. With the Carrera's "minimalist" styling, maybe the design of the two register guys is actually more appealing than the three register guys, at least for some collectors.

: Thanks again Mark,
: I really do like the look of the 7753T 30. I thought the world of
: Autavia's was a minefield, but compared to the Carrera's they
: look like a walk in the park!
: I'm really warming to the Carreras. It still surprises me that one
: of these beauties can be had for less than a brand new TH
: Carrera.

: I wonder if my Heuer journey is reminiscent of many before me..
: start off with a diver, then a few divers, wonder into Autavia
: territory, explore the 'others' (5100's, Camaro's, Montreal,
: Pasadena), a bit of Silverstone action, then wind up in
: Carrera-land! I guess that's what is so appealing about Heuers.
