Hello Shaun,

: Really nice Carrera, these ones are a bit more "under the
: radar" than the more famous 1158s, but equally nice, and a
: bit more elegant.

Thank you very much. Owning both models I have to agree.

However, on the 60ties Carrera I always need some kind of "extra" on the dial. In my eyes the pure silver dial looks a bit dull. The dark silver tachy scale on this ref. 2456 T adds some depth and contrast without compromising readability.

: One thing I really agree with you about is the need for a flat
: strap on a 60's Carrera. I just do not like padded straps with
: these watches (or with an early Autavia), it just looks so wrong
: in my eyes.

You will see a few more flat straps over the next days.

Mick
