Re: Busted Carrera for $2500.00? The Recession Over?
In Response To: Busted Carrera for $2500.00? The Recession Over? ()

: An Indication the recession is over when a Broken Carrera with no

: $2,585.00. I know it has the rare Abercrombie & Fitch dial
: but seriously! $2585.00 Item number: 180407949073

A very surprising price for what is, IMO, a parts watch. Additionally to the non-original crown and poor shape mentioned, I would add the contrast between a Chronomatic-Abercrombie & Fitch dial (which can be dated 1969) and a Cal 12 movement from at least a couple of years later. Pushbuttons definitively don't belong there. Cal 12 style hands and tachy bezel don't help, either.
