Hi Mark,
thank you! I just spoke to Tag Heuer Service in Germany. They told me that my watch is not a CARRERA 12 (since Carrera 12 are always automatic) Is that correct? My watch is a carrera but a manual winding...
Do you know the correct name of the watch?
Thanks again.
Tobias
: Hi Tobias.
: The glass is actually plexiglass and is
: original.
: Because it's an unusual shape, you'll find it
: difficult to get any sort of replacement
: especially if you're looking for something
: other than the plexiglass.
: A watchmaker should be able to make sure the
: glass is secured properly if it's loose, and
: polish out any minor scratches.
: Early Heuer serial numbers are notoriously hard
: to verify given that Heuer themselves don't
: appear to have kept a record of a lot of
: them!
: Enjoy your watch!
: Mark
