Ah, but the "F1 cal 12 gold Carrera" also came in...
In Response To: I'm with John ()

...a CH version:

and this seems to be what the L5100 watch is riffing on.

And I don't know if there's much difference in contrast between a gold and champagne watch and a steel and silver one:

I wouldn't go as far as to call the 510.508 the "ultimate" Carrera, but it has certainly sparked some discussion - by the same token, while not deserving of an "ultimate" epithet, I don't believe it is any more deserving of being called "boring" or "bland". Of course, your opinion may vary but I'd keep this Elizabeth Duke Heuer rather than one of those Ratners Monacos ;)!!!
