Re: A bit of background on the Skipperera *PIC*

Darren,

: The Skipper / Carrera is as rare as rocking horse droppings &
: an amazing mix of colours. It has gained a number of names by
: association such as the Skipperera & the Colin Chapman model
: but for more recent readers you may be interested to know that
: this model was not widely known to the forum as recently as
: 2008.
: I even linked an eBay auction back then mocking the dial &
: hinting it to be a frankenwatch - i asked jokingly if it had
: been designed by Krusty the clown ?
: I can laugh at myself now but if anyone cares to relive the moment
: the forum became aware of this rare treasure then take a look at
: this thread from June 2008.

Thank you very much for this jump back in time. I did not meet "Krusty the Clown" at that time years before I started to collect Heuer watches.

Cheers

Mick
