Got my Carrera serviced

I know she's no Rolex but she's very vintage and running perfectly again...

I've commented before on this, but I believe the dial layouts for Heuer/Tag are the best I've seen on chronographs.

There was a guy selling some fantastic Heuer watches at Classic LeMans last year, since seeing the Carrera there it has been the top of my next watch list! I am very green with envy!

I remember as a child reading my Dad's motoring magazines, from the 60's and the back pages were full of advertisements for Carrera"s.

Oh how I wish now that I had got one, but only being 8 years old at the time, it wasn't an option.

one of the nicest chronograph models. perfect dial, big crown, congrats, IMO Carrera is still an under-rated vintage watch.
