: Looks original to me Gianmarco, and this is a rare (and desirable,

: As long as the money the shop is asking isn't ridiculous, it would

Hi Mark
Thank you so much for your advice! I understand the input concerning the strap but as the buckle isn't an original one with Heuer engraving and I am not sure if the original one had this or not and also I saw some pictures of this watch on the net with concav registers and others with plain ones, plus the position of the fluorescent point not being exactly on the quarter-past position...
Well, I think I will go for this one as it looks so amazing to me and the price seems to be ok (around $3'000) even if there are no original papers going with it. Can you agree with it?
So, very soon I hope to be a proud owner of this great Carrera. As soon as I can take some good pictures of it I will post them here on the forum.
Thanks for all,
Gianmarco
