Inner Tachymeter Bezel -- Creature of 70s (not 60s)
In Response To: Posting: Behind the Scenes -- Developments re New Carreras ()

My quick quibbles:

  • Let's avoid creating a Steve McQueen Carrera . . . of course, Steve is associated with the Monaco, and even wore an Autavia once or twice, but no need to move him over to the Carrera line
  • The inner Tachymeter bezel is a creature of the 1970s, rather than the 1960s . . . and my choice would be to keep these particular models of the CH80 tied to the 1960s SN and NS models. This also suggest that we are not ready for this blue model.
Just my two cents.
