3 watches to keep? I thought this was going to be easy

No more than 1 Carrera from a generation and it would all fall into place, right?

So off we go...

2447 T first execution. I considered the purity of an S but the red text wins me over.

1158 CHN white on black date. For the Ferrari and F1 links.

The third took longer to think about. I thought about a 510.511 but decided there were watches from the 1st and 2nd generations I would keep in preference to that. Thus breaking my initial rule.

I thought about watches I would like to have. Toyed with a 2447 NT copper print dial as #3. But including a watch I don't own and moreover have never seen outside the dial boards at Tag Heuer felt too much like cheating.

And then Ivan's post reminded me. Dato 45s. Where it all started for me.

So watch number 3 is a 3147, either my first in silver or a nicer one in black.
