SCATTERBRAINED !!!!! :-) is not the right word to use here, we need something worse than that.

The face isn't marked Carrera as I previously said only Heuer, I don't know where that came from, maybe wishful thinking I don't know.

Sorry for that.

: Hi Mark,

: I'll mail the pictures shortly, so thanks for your help.

: Regarding the "The Carreras never used the Valjoux 21/2/3
: though some of their predecessors did." part, the face
: clearly says Carrera so...... Hmmmm....... there's no doubt that
: the movement is either a Valjoux 21 or -22 since it's stamped on
: the center base plate close to the rim and I saw that myself. (
: Scatterbrained as I am, I just don't remember which one it is )

: There is also no doubt that the watch wasn't pieced together from
: other watches as the only persons who ever serviced this time
: piece was the watchmakers at the Royal naval workshops in
: Copenhagen and that is where I got it to start with in 1979, I
: saw it there some years earlier (1977 maybe), at that time it
: had been stuck away in a drawer for some years already.

: When I laid my clammy hands on it in 1979, no one really cared
: about it and that's how it found a new and better home.

: Strap isn't original but I am working on finding one and to my
: knowledge that is about the only thing that really can be
: pointed a finger at.
