Thanks Mark, It looked to me to be untouched and a good price. I wasn't sure, seems 1700 to 1800 is more the min for just about any good carrera.

: Hi Kenny, and welcome to the forum.

: Looked a nice watch, I'm not surprised it went quickly at that
: price. Third gen Carreras have tended to be at the cheaper end
: of the Carrera spectrum, but that's the sort of price you might
: have been paying four or five years ago so pretty much a bargain
: today.

: Whenever I talk about buying barrel Carreras, I urge any
: prospective buyer to try one on before buying. It's not that
: it's heavy as such, and the overall dimensions are within a mm
: of the second gen, but it's the height of the case that
: dominates the wearing experience with the barrels. Whereas the
: second gen has quite a domed crystal, the third is steel pretty
: all the way up with its mineral glass nearly flush. As a result,
: it feels quite high on the wrist. Not uncomfortably so and
: nothing you wouldn't acclimatise to, but I was certainly much
: more aware of wearing a watch with my first barrel than any of
: the other Carreras. Hence the advice to try before you buy.

: Not to put anyone off, you get perhaps the most distinctive Carrera
: dial with most of these!
