Ugh, it hurts!! :)

Thanks for the info and picture, Chuck! I'll always be on the look for one of these. I'll definitely send you a picture of mine once I found one.

Thanks!

: Hello, Howdy!

: I was browsing the Chronographs pictures and
: couldn't get my eyes off of the Carerra 12
: Dato, especially the white on white dial.
: Here is a picture of mine...

:

: Does this watch come with Valjoux 72c?
: Either the 72c or the 723, which are pretty
: much the same movement. But yes. The
: venerable Valjoux 72...

: And what's the current price range? To be
: frank, since I am not looking for another
: example with this dial, I don't follow
: current trends, not that there are many out
: there offered. I look through the Carrera
: listings very religiously because I'd love
: to get a Black Dial, a Black with white
: Subs, and a White with Black Sub version of
: each...

: I purchased mine about 20 months ago (Summer
: 2003) from a seller in Managascar, it was an
: eBay purchase (¡Sounds!), my first and only
: so far purchase from Africa, and it didn't
: arrive in totally operable shape...

: I sent it to Hans in the hope that maybe he
: could revive her, and he was able to do so
: very quickly at an astoundingly fair price.

: Is it 1940's production? No, I believe
: these are 1960's production for the most
: part, although they could have just as
: easily been made in the 1950's or 1970's
: too.

: Thanks for the input. You're welcome! I
: wish I could be more helpful in your quest
: to find out. They are getting very hard to
: find, but If I see a white dial model, I'll
: circle back around and point the listing out
: to you.

: Good Hunting!
