: Over the next few months, I will be selling some
: Carrera's............ and might as well start with a 2447SN. I
: am the second owner, having bought this from a fellow in
: Scotland about five years ago. The watch was in fair shape (dial
: - bad, case/hands/movement - okay to good). The first owner was
: given the watch by his girlfriend in the late 60's and wore it a
: for a few years. Jump, a couple decades later and he wants to
: wear it again, but his wife said get rid of it. Why, because the
: caseback is inscribed from "that girlfriend" and it is
: ugly. He decides not to fight her and contacts me. I get some
: pics and wonder if a dial could be found, Made some contacts,
: did some hunting and begging !!
: This took about a month and then purchased the watch and had it
: sent to Belgium for a stay with Abel Court. See, Abel had agreed
: to sell me his NOS dial...no better place for a spa treatment
: and face lift. Abel's masterful work combined with the technical
: expertise of Mark Moss, brought me my SN after a few months.

: Dial - mint, and all lume dots in place (see pics). Patina of both
: dial and hands are very nice. If there is a better SN dial,
: please let me know.
: Hands - very good original minute and hour, chronograph hands
: replaced by AC.
: Case - very good and serial number of 104716 and 2447 clearly
: visible between lugs. Signed crown that came with watch when I
: got it. Case has been polished in the past.
: Caseback - good and inscription gone. Abel removed the inscription,
: but I wish I had been smarter and kept it.
: Movement - was serviced by Abel five years ago and Craig Bergsma
: 2-3 years ago. It does wind tight, but keeps very good time and
: chrono hands reset to zero.
