I think the watch we're discussing is from a seller who also frequents the forum :) So I'll refrain from discussing an offer strategy. He is however a genuine and serious guy, so there can't be any harm in opening with a genuine, serious offer.

The Côtes de Genéves dials are stunning in the metal (all these have CdG dials bar the PVD model) and this example looks to have a fine one (on the iPhone atm so not as easy to see fine detail).

The price of barrels is probably only going to go in one direction this year, so getting in now isn't a bad idea. If anyone planning that has the chance to try one on first, I do urge that, these wear very differently from 1st and 2nd gen Carreras.
