The Most Expensive Vintage Carrera that We Have Seen
In Response To: And this time the old friend sold... ()

I am surprised that collectors will pay this kind of money, after the dial has been re-lumed. Maybe this is just my own hang up, but the re-touched lume dots just never look right on the 1960's Carreras -- 2447s, etc.

Thanks for bringing this one to our attention . . . a notable price for a vintage Carrera.
