Re: Friday: latest arrival Heuer Carrera 1153N

Fantastic-thanks to everyone for sharing-I love them all! After my attempt to put together a 73453 turned into a disaster I managed to get this 1153n just this week, which I'm thrilled with-

It's still very early days for it...but I wanted to join in today!

Enjoy them,

Steve

: Hi all,

: this friday my latest arrival: an Heuer Carrera 1153N 3rd execution
: (2nd exec. "luminous" dial with double insert hour
: markers, later tachy ring 60-500km/h, 2nd exec. thinner hands),
: pictured into the 1972 catalogue, serial 2218XX, case is really
: crisp and seems to be unpolished - with normal scratches but
: nothing serious - and dial with a great metallic
: "sunburst":

: This popped up on Ebay on 22 September while I was lurking the web
: during a coffee pause as I usually do every morning, so I
: immediately sent my offer to the seller... fast negotiation, the
: seller is a Lord and sent it with a nice blue perforated strap,
: so I installed an Heuer buckle and since then it is on my
: wrist... life is strange because I always thought that this kind
: of Carrera were too small for my wrist, but its 39mm case at the
: end is well balanced and elegant, even if hasn't wrist presence
: like my favourite automatic Autavias... tastes change...

: Love its sunburst metallic dial and that clean white subdials...
: IMHO an underrated reference, an Heuer you can still buy at a
: price below 2500 Euro...
