Carrera Dato 12-
This afternoon I sent Jeff a note about how much I dig my Carrera Dato 12....I was wearing it today for the first time in months and months.
Tonight enthusiastically opening up the OTD site I see that there may be a further dial variation, as mine has a "T" above the lower register whilst the one sold on the auction site recently, and the other on OTD, doesn't have this "T" marking.
I know mine's dial has not been touched as I bought it from the orginal owner......so- did Heuer use Tritium up to a point and then cease using it, in turn dropping the "T"? Also, some of the Black dial white register versions have a red date crescent, some have blue.....?
By the way, has anyone a spare "correct" Dato 12 second hand?
Cheers
Stewart.
