Combi of round forms and bright colours?

Since my arrival on this platform some 7-8 years ago, I have never seen much movement of 70ties Carrera prices. For some reason they seem not that popular.I do not know why. Can only guess.Maybe they look too much like competitor watches like the Breitling Transocean. I for myself am not a collector of 70's cushion shaped watches. Ergo, I have none of them in my collection.
Maybe the combination of roundish forms and bright colours may not make them attractive to the ones who want a real tough, masculine watch.

I do like Bootsy's though! Maybe because of the basic colours which make it look more tough.Compliments Boots!
Without any doubt the automatics are more popular that the manuals.

Prices for manuals Carreras have some up. Some too much. I see various manual Carreras crossing the 3K Euro frontier. But then again, those are asking prices. My guess: they went up approx. 25% since December. Same for manual 3-subdial Autavias. I do not think this is temporary. 60ies Omega Deville with three subdials, looking a bit like Carrera- have been on the present Carrera level for years already.
