Re: Non “T” Swiss dial on a Carrera 3647s

Mark, thank you for this helpful information – I never stop learning! I always assumed that only the early (eggshell) Carrera 3647/2447 S had "non-T-dials". Gary's non-T 3647 S with s/n 65XXX has the starburst dial.

: He's right. The rule regarding displaying a T to indicate a watch
: uses tritium was picked up at different times by different
: legislations. It began to be used a little while after the
: launch of the Carrera (I think the earliest countries adopting
: the marking began in '64 from when I looked at this before), so
: the watches at the start of the run shouldn't have it, then you
: get a mix depending on the intended market and eventually it was
: easier to just mark all the dials.
