I thought I'd post a countdown to the Carrera Celebration, starting today.

First up is what many will consider an ugly duckling of the 1960s Carreras, it's gold plated so really not a "real" tool watch and certainly not one of the more desired 1960s Carreras. But I absolutely love it, the simple delicate hands and dial, the interplay of the gold markers & hands and the silver/pearl dial. A good way to start, I would think, for many Heuer fans - things can only get better might be the sentiment, but for me it's one of my favourites (OK I have a lot of favourites).
