I think for future collectors, wouldn't it make sense to include country and number for all the ones we come across, even if it aint a forum member? On wus a member posted his number 366, he is in UK

Edit: and maybe we can get @Yago to add the list to his original post when creating this thread so it will be easy to find

 

It might be fun to track all of these, but I think it will be hard to keep it up to date as time goes on. Whereas at least on the forum, we'll sometimes know when someone sells their watch or when a member acquires a pre-owned watch.

It is very interesting that 366 was sold in the UK. I had thought the lower 300s might be UK and then somewhere in the mid 330s it switched over to US, given how close @imagwai's (UK) number is to mine (US). But since 366 is UK, it seems there's a mixture of numbers between countries, rather than a sequential order.

 

I’ll let you know if I end up keeping it…

I would sell it at cost (retail+tax+shipping) to a dedicated member of this forum and enthusiast who missed out on the launch, in which case you would hopefully be able to include it on your list.

Took it out of the box once more for you guys - a daylight photo with my other Carrera (at a most special time), which likely will be for sale only over my dead body:

 

Very noble of you to sell at cost, kudos bro. BTW, is that a 997 in the background?

 

Good eye…997.1 Carrera.

 

Cool.
Mine says "hello".

 

So much info so sorry if I'm repeating! I love the vintage look of the rally strap-is it leather? Having seen it on BoR though....wow, how (even more) amazing would it look on the re-edition DOUBLE GRAIN BoR-like that on the Auatavia?

 

I still don’t have a watch shot with mine, I gotta get on that!

 

Haha, awesome.

 

The rally strap is leather and is just perfect for this watch. It would've been so awesome had they re-created the double grain BoR for this special watch and also included the rally strap as well. However, CEO Frederic has stated this will be the very last glassbox Carrera, hence no chance they'll make a bracelet now.

OTOH, Frederic did say a new 39mm Carrera will be joining the standard lineup later this year. Assuming it has 19mm width lugs, there's a chance its bracelet might work on our glassbox too. Although it's unlikely to be a vintage inspired design.

 

Big congrats @Hubert!!! Finally, enjoy them in good health!
Have you decided which you'll wear and which you'll keep pristine for the Hubert Museum?

 

Congrats @Hubert, hope the wait was worth it. Looking forward to the group pic!

 

Congrats Mate.
Glad you finally have had a chance to unpack..

 

Curious why you bought two for this Panda Carrera sir @Hubert ?

 

To me the OG strap is nice, but I prefer the Bulang and Sons Taurillon (pictured) and pigskin straps.

 

As Anthony first pointed out, it's amazing to me how the silver in this dial can change its shade and tone. It can appear more grey with a deep sunray, like @thingziliketoo's pic above.

Most of the time (to my eyes) it looks like a bright light silver and the sunray's more subtle, like in this pic.


Outdoors it can appear almost basically white.


Indoors under natural light, I see quite a bit of cream or champagne tones from time to time, maybe almost salmon too.

 

It’s a very dynamic dial, so hard to describe and hard to have the camera represent. I don’t know about you guys but my phone and camera both have a hard time straight on with the dial. The reflectiveness just plays havoc with the sensors.

 

Looks good!
I guess all your favorites for the 160th will look great on the 60th too!

I have this burgundy brown strap, shown here on my Dato, that I really want to try on the 60th. But honestly, I really love the OEM strap and don't plan to swap it out any time soon.
