2 is easy, 3rd one's the tricky one
In Response To: If everyone had to choose just 3... ()

Have to have a first gen Carrera. Let's go for a 2447 with 3 regs, as I'm going to go for a 2 reg Carrera later. And I want the early Tachy scale with red markings.

So 1) Carrera 12 2447 T

Equally I want a second gen Carrera in there. And I think I probably want an 1158, and going that route it has to be the 1158 CHN, white on black date.

So 2) 1158 CHN

Those were the work of a moment, the trickiness comes now. I have a white/silver dial and a champagne one, so now I need something with a dark dial. I'd like a second gen Carrera in steel but I'd also like a 2-reg 3647, maybe an early NT. But I think I'm going to come down on the side of the watch that started it for me, albeit with a different dial colour.

Finally 3) Carrera 45 Dato 3147 N in first execution with date at 12

Sorted! On another day the lack of an 1153 might rankle but the first two are a given on any day.
