VERY nice Carrera, Paul - huge congrats !!!!

Werner

: The second of my challenges is to find the lowest serial number
: Carrera 1153.

: This week I had the great pleasure of receiving a 1153 S with a
: very low serial number (147304) and all the hallmarks of the
: first execution Carrera (post Chronomatic). These include:

: - 3,6,9,12 hour register
: - Tachymeter scale from 50 to 200 with TACHY at the “3”
: position
: - Thin polished steel hour and minute hands with black centre
: stripe
: - Steel hour markers with single black centre stripe (to match the
: hands)
: - Calibre 11 movement
: - Early Mk 2 Gay Freres bracelet dated 3/69 with small Mk 1 type
: clasp

: (see images below detailing these features)

: Over the years the 1153 evolved with changes in hour and minute
: hands, Tachy scale, hour markers and of course movement from
: Calibre 11- i through to Calibre 12. I have seen many examples
: with a combination of these parts so I was thrilled to find this
: early one with all these features and such a low serial number.
: I do have record of one earlier serial number at 147186 which
: means that Heuer designated 147xxx to the Carrera 1153 case. So
: where are all the 1470xx , 1471xx and 1472xx’s.

: So lets see if we can uncover those 1153 Carrera S or N’s with a
: lower serial numbers than 147304. Images of the watch would be
: appreciated.

: Regards
: Paul
