Re: Carrera Case?
In Response To: Carrera Case? ()

: I know that these are on the OTD list as "Poor mens"
: watches, but are the cases really the same as the Carrera? From
: both shots, it looks a bit different to the normal Carrera,
: especially the lug design..

: Is the movement signed Heuer?

: dc

the cases are slightly different, not such articulated lugs as on the Carrera, among other subtle differences... in some respects I actually prefer the poor-man's cases... and the movements are typically signed 'Zodiac' or whomever Heuer made these for...

hope this helps :)

cheers,
Peter
