Carerra Tachy 41mm

[scrubba]

Thought I'd share my Carrera Tachy. Has an ETA date wheel in and ETA screws and a gen needle. The gen needle is noticeably finer than the rep one. Put it on a racing style strap which gives it a nice old school/retro look to it. Next step will be gen hands and rotor...

Nice one! Welcome to the carrera club. Also where did you source the leather strap?

I found it on eBay last year sometime but can't find any others now. It's a tang buckle strap but with a square end to the strap and perfect for the Tag deployment.

Nice.

I have two Carrera's. One with Gen movement, all gen hands, rotor, crown, bracelet etc and one that is similar to yours with silver screws and gen datewheel (gen rotor on its way soon).

I don't think it is a huge amount thinner than the rep. It is a bit, but I think the brighter red is a bigger difference. The rep hands are too dark.

The gen hands make a massive difference too all round. The swiss ETA movement also make the hand stack look taller.

They are very nice though and yours looks amazing on that strap.

I will try and get some pics up of mine soon.

Those sounds like quite the builds, I look forward to seeing your pics. I've just got myself a set of gen hands so I'll post more pics when those are in. Also after the gen rotor but haven't got funds for it at the moment unfortunately. I'm selling a watch to part fund it so hopefully soon I'll be able to
