Good choice D - I have one, in Abels hands at the moment - beautiful dial. Small case though - worth bearing in mid, as most of your favourites are larger cased.
Interestingly the sub dials are oval, something that you don't notice straight away...
..but, having said that, looking at the amazing 4-some photo, is it me, or does the PVD version have round sub dials?

: Here are some of the barrel cased 1970's Carreras. A classic 70's
: watch, and the blue "cote de geneve dial" is one of
: the prettiest dials Heuer made.
: I think the general view is the "good" are the classic
: steel cal 12 and cal 15 version. The black PVD (one of Heuer's
: earliest PVD watches) would be thought of as the "bad
: boy" of the lot. Then common perception is that gold plated
: on a tool watch falls into the "ugly" category. Your
: view may differ....I like 'em all.
