Re: Carrera 45 dato
In Response To: Re: Carrera 45 dato ()

: Hi Francis.

: That watch is simply missing its internal bezel, which is what
: carries the minute markings. These often become discoloured and
: the markings can rub off, or literally be moved, and some people
: remove the bezel entirely as a result - personally I would
: prefer even a poor bezel over none at all but some might feel it
: detracts from the watch.

: The chrono second hand and crown (too thick) are also incorrect on
: that particular watch.

: Mark

Thank you Mark for these very interesting comments. Its interesting also to know that the watch is for sale for 4200 euros (!!!)
