Re: eBay Carrera with upside-down movement?

Hello,

don't know if you're kidding us, or if it is some kind of test ...
But I dare to answer:
This is alright, the movement.
The picture in the Bay was shown the wrong way ....
Try to turn it in your mind, or turn the Laptop, or IPad, or whatever ...
Oh, I just remember that old song ..."Upside down" ... ;-)

Hope this helped ;-)
Cheers,
Have a good Sunday,
Olaf

: Morning everyone, I woke up today to find this item on eBay:

:
: http://www.ebay.com/itm/70s-Vintage-HEUER-1153-CARRERA-CAL-12-AUTOMATIC-CHRONOGRAPH-STEEL-WATCH-/321269414602?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

: It's an 1153 Carrera, with the tachy scale completely worn off, and
: bizarrely, what appears to be an upside-down Cal.12 movement.
: Now, I'm not terribly knowledgeable about the 1153, but this
: just seems really screwy. Anyone have any ideas how this is even
: possible? Doesn't look like a mirror shot or anything either.
