In Response To: eBay Carrera - Model 2448 ? ()

Hi there,

looks like the reference number has been reembossed, you can see the numbers (reapplying marks can be seen magnifiing) are larger than normal, compare with the finer embossing 120xxx of the serial number than you see what I mean, the reference number normally would be the same size and typo.
Beside that the carrera looks to be in good shape with time period correct case serial numbers, movement (balance and bridge markings), hands and nice dial.
In my book on page 116/7 you can see a sister watch with a standard dial out of the same 120xxx for comparision.
Mark what would you say production around 1969, last batch with the T ?

Cheers

Arno
