Wow - Decimal Carrera meeting there!

: Ciao Fabrizio,

: I completely agree, the re-edition is almost as beautiful as the
: original from the sixties. Congratulations on a very nice
: example.

: Actually I thought that the dials were more or less identical,
: except for the missing word "Carrera". But comparing
: them side by side, it shows that the numbers of the decimal
: scale are much smaller on the re-edition, and the blue color is
: a bit lighter. And of course the sub-dials of the Lemania
: movement sit closer to each other than the ones of the Valjoux
: 72.

: Regards, Robert

Guten Tag Robert, thanks for sharing the grandaddy and the nephew side by side - very instructive.
I've never had the luck to see a 2447 in the flesh - it's much more different than I thought.
I have to admit that I like the "closer" subdials of the re-issue more, but the bolder and darker decimal scale of the original more.
I assume the 2447 subdial hands are black rather than naked metal as in the re-issue, right?
Tschüß,
Fabrizio
