Carrera 2447 SN "Panda" & Tarantella wine & "sorry Jeff"

Yeah, yeah, I know I am a bit over zealous with two postings in a row. Maybe the red wine helps ( Sicilian wine Tarantella 2008)!

While reading the Bonham catalogue I noticed a few times dials with the Heuer logo in silver instead of white. Arno explains in the text that a silver logo indicates that those are early versions and therefore more rare. I wasn't aware of this. Who has experience? If so, may there be reason to value earlier ones- which can be recognized now- higher than later ones ( assuming the quality of the different watches is the same). Or not? ( do not hope so for Jeff as this may mean new additions to the price list..."sorry Jeff", LOL)

I am also asking because of my 2447NS Carrera with Panda dial. I bought it with a dial where the logo is in white. The watch also came with the previous dial which was received back from TAG Heuer after service. On that dial the logo is silver coloured.

Ok enough for now, back to the wine... look forward to any input from Carrera 60 lovers
