Agreed: First Carreras Had Slotted Case-Backs
In Response To: Re: What is Our Lowest Serial Number for a Carrera? ()

I believe that we have concluded that the very first Carreras had slotted case-backs (which some also call "round"), rather than the poly-style case-backs.

It would be great to get the specific 53xxx serial numbers, as I believe that these are at the start of the Carreras. Photos of the dials, sides, backs, etc. are also appreciated!!

Thanks,

Jeff

: Mine's got a round back as well, confirmed.
