Re: Evaluate a Carrera 1153.
In Response To: Evaluate a Carrera 1153. ()

Dear GVM,

About the value...I think Mark has done his explanaition very well...better then anyone else could do in fact.

This "Yachting" 1153 Carrera is a rare bird indeed. I had the honour of working on two of these Carrera's in the past. One in NOS conditions, the other one in used conditions showing the typical spots on the dial. Both from different well respected collectors. I must admit, while I'm not a real lover of these "blue" dials they have something very appealing. And ofcourse the orange accents make it so special.

Please note the very rare and special Deci-scale on the NOS example...

Here some pictures from my archive ;-)





Ciao,
Abel.
