Re: Which elements are you ready to give up on?

Hi Stewart, to my way of thinking there is nothing out there to match the 60’s Carrera in terms of design, quality and value for money but I will be following the responses closely to see if there is anything I have missed. It’s a question of appreciating the smaller size and that is in itself the essence of the watch. As soon as you increase proportions you loose something. You could consider UG Tri Compax, Zenith cal 146, Rolex Daytona, Enicar or any of the other brands that used the Valjoux 72 movement. But let me just remind you of what we are comparing them too:
