Carrera, Just A Couple Of Bad Pics

[ryaku]

Not a review, nothing particularly interesting, just few bad pics.

I can say if you're looking for a "not too sporty" watch this is a winner.

Very good news...date numbers are well aligned

So far i can see just a couple of flaws:

- dial writings should be brighter (just a strong feeling, i haven't had the opportunity to compare genuine with rep in the flesh)

- dial not perfectly aligned (common flaw in replica world, easily fixable),

- subdials' numbers slightly off, they should be closer to the subdial circle

- ss bracelet is pretty accurate, also genuine band is thin and feels a little cheap. Perhaps gaps between links are slightly more evident in replica band.

Nice watch, I'm thinking about buying it but too many things to buy...

Ahhh, you have the brown dial. I've been thinking about that one (you don't see a brown chrono dial every day). If you ahve any more straight-on dial shots, please post 'em. Thanks.

Nice "everyday" pictures. They are valuable when it comes to determine how a watch really looks! This is not a flashy watch, in fact it looks a bit old.

How do you experience the band? Some have described the Carrera band as "cheap feeling" while the Link band is generally recognized as one of the best replica band around.

Nice dial by the way, the orange accent makes it stand out, and is a nice tribute to the seventies Autavia!

Thanks chrgod

Compared to the Link's band, yes the bracelet feels cheap but i'm sure almost any replica bracelet would feel cheap compared to that masterpiece.

It's a very nice bracelet though.

I like my sports model very much, but that brown dial sure is tempting. So many watches to consider...
