Re: Carrera 1158: Vintage Vs. Modern

Great photo of the 1158 golden pair Paolo
Clearly the 1158's (particularly the 1158CHN) get the nod over Tag's modern offering.
I credit Tag with making a great effort in offering this model Carrera in various metals but they must address some basic design problems in order to win over the publics hearts with their watch. Again i point out the 1887's North/South orientation with its large registers & just to accentuate the issue they have a date window inside the lower register which is an eyesore as far as i'm concerned. Surely they can figure a way to place the registers in the 9 & 3 positions and balance out their dials.
