: Fantastic photo and posting!! Huge thanks for this discovery!!
: I must be quick right now, but ask the question . . . is this
: Reference 2547S (Carrera 12 Dato), the "Dan Gurney
: Carrera?".
: Seems to me that the heavy markings above the Heuer shield must be
: the day / month windows, rather than the word
: "Carrera". Notice that we seem to have the
: "day" hand, with the arc at the end, aimed right at
: the lower pusher (four o'clock).
: Any other views on this?

I think you are correct. I see the date hand now. I have a friend who knows Dan very well. I will try to get him to ask about the watch in this picture. Dan's mind is sharp as a tack but like many racers his legs are giving out a bit.
