Re: Racing 73353X Carrera ?
In Response To: Racing 73353X Carrera ? ()

Sigh. You have to beware of these stainley models, they are never quite right. Mind you, given the redial is for a costumer, I have to feel they would have different tastes to mine.

It kind of mentions that redial as the only issue with the watch. It might have been better to spend some time on there not being any recognisably Heuer parts on display at all....

Whoever has added "73353 S" to the caseback has done so with some knowledge of Heuer references and quite deliberately. Shame they didn't realise those references aren't on the caseback of the genuine article, and that the dial colour suffix is not included as dial and case are only mated at Heuer, it's not known a priori when the case is being manufactured.

So we shouldn't concentrate on the dial being bad, when everything else is too.

^^ The real thing. Relume is courtesy of TAG Heuer, not their best work on the markers I would have to say.
