Odd That This BWC is in True Carrera Case ? ? ?
In Response To: Re: Very Interesting Watch; Show Us More!! ()

Thanks for the follow-up. This BWC is a great looking chronograph!!

This is a mystery to me.

The image in the catalog seems to show the Dato 45 in a poor man's case, similar to what we see on the Clebars, Traditions, Zodiacs, etc . . . the lugs differ from the Carrera lugs.

But your BWC appears to be in a true Carrera case . . . as I mentioned, we do not see many of the "Poor Man's" watches in the true Carrera cases.

Let me inquire of our experts and see what we can learn about these BWCs . . . "poor man's" watch made by Heuer for BWC or a look-alike, made by someone else?

Jeff
