Re: Somewhat Weak Result on Manual-Wind Carrera (1970s) ? ?

: I thought that this one would sell for more than $1,675 --

: Do people want their 1970s Carreras to be automatic (Cal 11 / 12)?
: Maybe there is a preference for the thinner (earlier) hands and
: markers? Any explanation, or is this the "fair market
: price" for this watch?

I was watching that one and it seemed a little low to me as well. Although I don't mind, I've been on the lookout for one;) Of course justwhen one comes along I don't have the funds, go figure.

I got a cal 12 "poor mans" Zodiac carrera a few months back and I've been wearing non stop and love it. Just an exellent example of great design.
