Would Be Great to Start Registry of Early Carreras

We have the Registry of Early Autavias, so why not the Carreras?

Let's see whether we can get this project organized!! Perhaps Mark and I can suggest a parameter / highest number of interest, and then we can see how many we can find.

One thing to point out -- just because a particular 3647 Carrera (or batch of them) have a number that is lower than the numbers on the 2447s, that does not mean that the 3647s were earlier or produced first. You have to imagine that Heuer introduced both models at the same time . . . so the numbers stamped on the first two sets of cases (for the first 3647s and the first 2447s) was probably somewhat random / arbitrary. Seems doubtful that either model would have been "earlier" . . . it's just that one of them (3647 or 2447) had to have the lower numbers.

: This is a very interesting topic to me because I own a very early

: serials for the earliest 3647 model Carreras, I would gladly
: contribute pictures of my watch and would love to see a posting
: on On The Dash similar to what was done with the earliest
: Autavia models. Congrats on a great find (even though I cannot
: view the pictures!).
