Not long ago, Tag reissued a model that was a modern version of the original Heuer Carrera models. Something like this:

Very plain, very "tool watch". Now, not having a large amount of money to throw at questionable vintage models or the limited edition reissue, I would be more than thrilled if a member of the forums with a replica of this reissue would point me in the right direction.


Thanks in advance for helping me find this replica of a replica of a classic.

There are no replicas of the Carrera 1964 Re-Edition, I believe. Here's mine

It's a manual wind 1873 Lemania movt, same as what Omega calls the 321 as I recall.
I picked mine up on the Bay for $800 and spent $70 fixing it. Typically, they run $1200-1500. I think they were produced from the late 90's to early 00's.

aligoat: Very nice watch - lovely classic. As you said there are some on ebay, and I am tempted..

erik: there are some replicas - at least of the one from 2004 which seemed to be a 40 years anniversary re-edition.

This from trusty which has a back with inscription and at least looks similar to pics of gen found on the net:

Another one from watcheden :

This has a cream-coloured dial and no inscription.

If you look around I think you might find more copies of this one.

Lovely piece, alligoat. A few years ago, I was torn between getting that or a Targa Florio.

I ended up with a Speedmaster!
