I was the same Carl

I loved the look of the Carrera, and every time someone posted a pic of one, I wanted one.. especially if there is nothing to compare scale.
I took the plunge and bought on - it was/is stunning.. but it was tiny.. I was gutted. Then I started to wear it, and like I said before, after a day I got used to it, and it didn't look small. The HUGE bonus is.. there is a whole world of slightly smaller watches that suddenly become available!

Here is a pic I took a while back.. it's not a perfect representation of size, as the Carrera is closer to the camera.. but you can see that without a bezel, the Carrera doesn't look too small, as it is 'all dial'. If you go for a Carrera without the Tachy track, that will help even more. I will take a pic of my Carrera with my 2446C GMT for you - give me 10 mins!
