Re: New Arrival: 2447S, SN, NS and Now the N *PIC*

Jeff,

I'm quite confused now with all the versions of Carrera 12.
I know all the colour combinations, but what about the dials?
What I mean is that it seems that Heuer manufactured different versions of dials before and after the merge with Leonidas. is that right?
I own three versions of 'Heuer-Leonidas' Carreras and apart from obvious differences (inscriprtion on the bridge and caseback, and different casebacks), Ed.Heuer's Carrerras have longer and slimmer hour marks than later Leonidas versions.
I attached a link to the pictures showing my 3 beauties, where it's visible that hour marks are different.
I'm just wondering if that's what happened to Carrera 12 dials after the merge or perhaps the dials have later been replaced at Heuer service (one of those surely has) and service dials are different.
Can you, or any other Heuer expert explain it?
