Some time soon we will be updating the Carrera table with some more valid combinations of hands and dials we have uncovered. Suffice to say, the hands on this watch won't be among them...
The main timekeeping hands have been repainted; the chrono needles are too narrow; the second hand may be ok.
Some of the dials correctly don't have contrasting Tachy rings - the champagne dials, for instance, and the 110.253 B with the CdG dial we show in row E-34 (currently!) of the table. We sometimes see dark dial, dark bezel combinations for sale - as here, where there are other parts that have been replaced on the watch, I would suspect that the bezel is not original too.
On the other hand, it would probably make a good project watch for someone as (as far as I can tell from the screen of my ultra-portable!) the dial itself, the case, movement and bracelet all look ok. I've seen Carrera hands come up for sale now and again.
All the above without prejudice, I am not bidding on the watch or connected with the seller.
