And one of the highlights of Arno's auction for me
In Response To: Re: thanks Mark.... ()

I singled the above watch out for considerable praise in my review:

Lot 54 -- Ref. 110.573F, Fume w/ Gray. Carreras from the first through the third generations were represented very well at the auction, and this is the first of the third (aka "barrel") generation watches we saw. 2010 has seen something of a resurgence of interest in these Carreras, which previously were something of a bargain as far as Carreras were concerned. Rarely though are they quite as magnificent as this example, with the brushed and polished case finish very clear and dial and hands in perfect condition, as these can often fade and dull with time. 5 of the 6 barrel models sported these Côtes de Genéves dials in various colours and this watch demonstrates just how unusually dramatic they were for Heuer at the time. £5,000+ is a lot of money for any barrel Carrera but justified this time in my opinion.
