You'd think this would be easy for me. I mean, no-one is going to be surprised if I say it's a Carrera, right?!

But it was a question I asked myself while I was working on the Carrera table, and I was unable to settle on one favourite... or five, come to that... I wonder if I csn get it under 10...?

So here, in no particular order, are my favourites:

- A 2447 T with the early red Tachy scale
- A 3647 T also with the red scale, as I am debating over the number of registers I prefer on these!
- An early Carrera with Pulsometer scale, largely because we see them so rarely
- There has to be a first execution (date at 12) 3147 45 Dato in there - a silver one started my collection off, but silver dials are already well represented in this list, so I will opt for a 3147 N with black dial and registers
- A contrasting registers Dato 12 - can't decide on regular or inverse panda!
- A perfectly ordinary 1153 N. Just a timeless classic (for the early manuals, I tend to slightly prefer the silver/white dials. Once the automatics come along, I switch allegiance to the dark dials. Go figure...)
- An 1158 CHN with white on black date ring. This comes closest to being my outright favourite, until the voices start going on about red tachy scales :)
- A 110.571 NC. How more black could it be? None more black

So one of those 8. Probably... today at least...

Outside of the Carreras, what other Heuers do I like? Hmmm. Probably a Siffert Autavia at the top of the list; the 80s PVD Autavias; red Silverstone; the Daytonas; the triple calendars; PVD Monza; a grey Verona... and probably others if I were to think longer!
