Re: As someone who collects only Carreras...

: ...I would beg to differ.

: The dial being off-brand means the watch takes a hit to value for
: me, sometimes a significant hit.

: As Jeff said, scarcity does not always equate to value. An
: Uhrmacher Solothurn 1153 is not worth more to me than a
: Heuer-marked example, despite its relative rarity. The same,
: I’m afraid, holds true for a Glycine Carrera Dato 12. In fact,
: the dial not being marked Carrera, even on Heuer examples, is
: already a negative for me.
