I'm taking the lazy option here and asking for help or views on sourcing a Carrera for a good friend.

What I know about Tags could be written on a postage stamp so any feedback will be appreciated.

My mate went to an AD last weekend and tried on some watches. These are the two that he has identified:

Basically any info will be welcome, likeness to gen, movements, price, reliabilty etc.

He doesn't need it till Christmas so time is on my side. Bracelet is a must.

Thanks in advance.

I used to have the 1st one with the day date. Great rep but a couple of things drove me nuts. 1 is the crooked day/date and 2 is some of the numbers, example 55 on the dial is a little misalinged. But other then those the rep is pretty spot on. Try tony at asian7750 he has some great prices on tags.

oh and by the way, there are 2 versions of that day date out there. Make sure the one you are getting is 43mm. There was a ....v1 if you would that was 41mm.

Good luck

I have the Carrera, which incidentally, last night a bracelet pin fell out and it fell on the ground and dinted the case -_-

Its very close, has larger subdials by maybe 0.25mm so not really that much, and blue screws are annoying if you cant get it with silver ones. Silix has the silver screw movement.

also the model number will be incorrect, it says 2014, should be 2010.

Other than that, it's a great rep and definitely a stunner.
