i didnt know that you where such a Carrera 1158 CHN lover and so well informed too !!! THANKX Mate.

: Yes, as far as I can tell during the early part of production these
: were made in small batches but the later watches seem to have
: been made to special order. There is some clumping of serial
: numbers, but they're not as contiguous as, say, the PVD Monacos.

: This CHN configuration with white date on black seems to have been
: the configuration delivered to most of the Ferrari drivers too -
: that practice started in 1971 so all the earlier ones were the
: same watch as the one in row E10 of the Carrera table.

: Watches went to the following Ferrari drivers:

: - Carlos Reutemann
: - Clay Regazzoni
: - Jacky Ickx
: - Niki Lauda
: - Mario Andretti
: - Gilles Villeneuve
: - Jody Scheckter

: and also to other F1 drivers acting as brand ambassadors:

: - Jo Siffert
: - Ronnie Peterson
: - Emerson Fittipaldi
: - Denny Hulme
: - John Surtees

: I'll try and see if I can find out the configuration of the watches
: that went to Gilles and Jody as these would have been much
: later; Gilles is my favourite F1 driver and Jody's farm isn't
: all that far up the road. I'll have to see if I can bump into
: him and ask about his watch!

: Reminder to the members of the 1158 club too, would be good to see
: how many of them we can get along to Arno's auction, a nice
: gathering of gold Carreras.
