Hi Yuriae,

an unsigned crown would be okay for an early Carrera. But compared to this particular one from Auctionata, I think the correct crown should have more and smaller "teeth".

I agree about the hands, which look very "flat". The lume insert in the hour hand should be a bit shorter, I think.

In addition, I am not sure about the case with the unusual "fat lugs". It looks similar to the case described here:

I am still curious if these cases could be regarded as correct. Unfortunately the thread mentioned above did not lead to any conclusions. Anyone?

Regards,
Robert
