Wonderful....
... and heartfelt congratulations on 'bagging' the elusive original.
Your magnificent photo serves to point out how faithfully the watch was rendered in the re-issue model of about 10 or 11 (?) years ago, and which was badged as a 'Heuer' for a short period before being re-dialled as Tag Heuer, if I remember correctly. My own photos of that watch are lousy but here is one (silver sub-dials) borrowed from the web - with thanks to the now forgotten donor:
It's still not the genuine item though, is it? Enjoy the real thing for many years to come!
Cheers,
pplater.
Anyone like vintage Heuer carrera?
This one was one of my ultimate watch dreams come true. I got it a while back. Must have searched ebay 5 whole years, and every imaginable sales-site--then one day, of course, by accident, found it . I expected it to be SOLD, but incredibly it was not yet...
Congrats, Mostel >>>
I love this kind of stories. Your watch is beautiful, indeed. A true piece of the past on your wrist. Just one question: Will you wear it, as it is NOS? BTW...A true beauty. I love it! Nicolas
A beautiful Carrera and the moment must have been...
that much sweeter given the time it took to find it. A question for you; Do you know what year was it made? I really like the look of these on the drilled vintage driving straps.
