Re: Thoughts about this one (sold by auctionata)?!

Hello Robertino,

I saw your post earlier this year about the different Carrera case-shapes but didn't spot that this watch seems to have what you call a "fat lugs" case. It would be nice to have some other inputs on that particular point.

Cheers,

Marc

: Hi Yuriae,

: an unsigned crown would be okay for an early Carrera. But compared
: to this particular one from Auctionata, I think the correct
: crown should have more and smaller "teeth".

: I agree about the hands, which look very "flat". The lume
: insert in the hour hand should be a bit shorter, I think.

: In addition, I am not sure about the case with the unusual
: "fat lugs". It looks similar to the case described
: here:

: I am still curious if these cases could be regarded as correct.
: Unfortunately the thread mentioned above did not lead to any
: conclusions. Anyone?

: Regards,
: Robert
