TAG Heuer

Heuer Carrera 2447S.

We saw many modern iterations of the Carrera, lately, but the original has to be mentioned. Uber classic and sensual with its typical case and its timeless dial.

These lugs are driving me crazy, I must confess.

Best,

By: Bobbe : August 3rd, 2022-16:03

I totally understand.

I couldn't resist.

And she brings pizza, too? Surely she is some mythical Goddess..?

By: RabidManatee : August 3rd, 2022-21:04

Bobbe, did you ask her?

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-21:15

I’m preparing a shrine as we speak lest he answer in the affirmative.

By: RabidManatee : August 3rd, 2022-21:29

:)))

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-21:32

Of course I did, only 😬she isn't a goddess, she is a beast.... she ate the whole stack of pizza's.😬

By: Bobbe : August 4th, 2022-07:07

Run, my friend, run!

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-07:13

I did, first thing in the morning. I am hiding somewhere along the Costa Brava.

By: Bobbe : August 4th, 2022-16:51

...

Heaven!

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-17:43

It is, certainly after 4 hot days in Barcelona. And Lily can finally read a book after all the sightseeing! I am a happy dad.

By: Bobbe : August 4th, 2022-17:52

...

Cute moments.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-18:12

The best!!

By: Bobbe : August 4th, 2022-19:02

Have to agree.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-20:21

👍

By: Bobbe : August 4th, 2022-21:13

HAHAHA! Quite the exchange, this 😁

By: RabidManatee : August 4th, 2022-22:04

;) ;) ;)

By: amanico : August 5th, 2022-15:04

The legs on these early Carreras are intoxicating

By: Cozmopak : August 3rd, 2022-16:10

...

Aaaah here we are. Can you post a more " profile " photo of the case, please?

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-16:12

Absolutely.

By: Cozmopak : August 3rd, 2022-16:14

I’ll take a profile photo tonight.

Merci!

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-16:21

Here you go Nico

By: Cozmopak : August 4th, 2022-03:31

...

Quite a thick beast! Thank you so much, mon ami.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-05:40

Here you go. Very leggy for a 36mm watch. I measured approximately 45mm lug to lug.

By: BigAppleBill : August 3rd, 2022-18:04

...

What a case! How high is it?

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-20:23

From caseback to bezel it’s approximately 9mm and from caseback to crystal it’s approximately 11mm.

By: BigAppleBill : August 4th, 2022-21:28

Thanks for these precisions!

By: amanico : August 5th, 2022-15:04

Superb!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : August 3rd, 2022-16:26

This one is growing on me…I even went to Tag website for the red version but was sold out already!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : August 3rd, 2022-16:26

This is the vintage one. There was a very close to this one, made in 2020, called 160th Anniversary.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-16:31

...

Looks really cool as well…thanks for sharing!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : August 3rd, 2022-16:37

It is, very tempting for sure.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-21:14

I love my 2447NST. Why buy the re-edition when you can own the original?

By: BigAppleBill : August 3rd, 2022-18:10

I believe the re-editions are proportioned differently. 39mm compared to the original 36mm with longer lugs. Plus, the original has the Valjoux 72 movement. For me it’s the closest I’ll come to owning a Newman Daytona. ...

Wow

By: Flanker : August 3rd, 2022-18:39

This is stunning Bill.

Thank you!

By: BigAppleBill : August 3rd, 2022-19:27

I can only agree, especially when I see such a top specimen.

By: amanico : August 3rd, 2022-20:22

My late father's from 1960's now in the "safe" hands of my brother. I may have to kill him!!

By: chippyfly : August 4th, 2022-10:37

I introduced my brother to the Heuer ex-employee watch repairer for an amazing restoration and then I supplied him with the new strap. Gold-plated case. Such is brotherly "love". Clive ...

How cool.

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-20:23

Overdrive 😉

By: COUNT DE MONET : August 4th, 2022-19:33

Damn temptation... ;)

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-20:21

"To get rid of a temptation, you have to yield to it." Oscar Wilde. You and we all here live by that rule. 😊

By: COUNT DE MONET : August 4th, 2022-21:22

Yes, yes, yes!

By: amanico : August 4th, 2022-21:35

😃👍
