Re: Carrera box questions
In Response To: Carrera box questions *PIC* ()

Hi again, I had planned to post a couple pictures, but haven't mastered the "multiple" yet. So, If you're interested in seeing a few more of this box, the link to the alblum is as follows: http://photobucket.com/dickkr1heuerbox

Thanks! Dick

: I previously posted asking about values on my Carreras. Thanks for
: the responses. I now have a further question about a box. I have
: the 2 Carreras but only one box. So as background, the first
: Carrera is a 3147N, first execution, so according to the
: material on OTD it would have been made sometime in the few
: month period of 1966/67. The second is a 2447N, with second
: execution dial and hands. Again, according to the reference on
: OTD, this would have been made in 1970/71.

: The box is the long "cigar" box, 10"x2 3/16"x1
: 1/8". It is red leatherette and enclosed in an ivory color
: paper slip tube. At first I thought this box was for the 2447N,
: since that watch and the original hang tag for that watch were
: stored in this box. However, the 2447 came with a GF stainless
: bracelet, and I don't think Heuer would have sent a bracelet
: watch in the long flat box. The later Chronosplits that I have
: (with bracelets) were sent in the cube shaped boxes. So then I'm
: thinking the box must have been for the 3147, which came with a
: strap. However, the top of the box is marked "Heuer
: Automatic Chronograph", which I didn't think were available
: in 1966/67.

: So my question is: Does this box belong to EITHER of these
: Carreras? If it does, I want to keep it with the correct one
: if/when I sell them. Thanks for your help!!

: PS – I'm going to try to post pictures in this message. I do have
: them now up on the internet, so we'll see if I can master
: including them here.
