The "new" TAG Heuer Carrera has, as you say, an ETA movement - but the previous Carrera re-edition had a LeMania. The re-edition also is slightly smaller over-all, is manual rather than automatic, has a plexi rather than sapphire crystal, has no date and is less expensive than the current watch.

You may still find some new at dealers as the "new" Carrera has only been in production for a year.

: >briefly sharing with me your opinion of the
: overall quality of this watch and
: >whether it is one you would buy? This would
: be my first chronograph and this

: appearance and design. (I am a

: I have owned and worn for over 20
: >yrs - one is a GMT Master my Dad gave me in
: the tenth grade). I am looking for not only
: a more conservative look but an excellent
