No not 100% but it does have an end link and don’t think people were swapping bracelets around much in those days.
Fair point. All I'm saying is the bracelet part looks similar to the Forstner and I like how it looks in that pic. Also like how it looks on Wei Koh's Blue Dreamer. I'm not buying it because I think that Colin Chapman had that specific bracelet.

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

I would think that since there will be no more glassbox Carrera’s under FA’s leadership, the folks that may have been on the fence may be looking at picking up their favorite. The Dato has always been a favorite of mine along with the Fragment. Knowing that a “Heuer” branded Carrera in the future is out of the question, those are on my preowned radar.
The Datos seem to have dropped in price to a more realistic level recently. Maybe a few people trading for a 60th panda? I can't see myself ever finding a blue dreamer or Skipper, but the Dato remains a potential possibility for me in the future (once my wallet has recovered from this one).

Thank you all for the kind words!!

I got the watches unpacked last night. #265 & #475 They are truly gems. I'm not in a position to take a group picture at the current time. But I will certainly post the glassbox chronos when I do. Here's a proud shot.
Congrats @Hubert for that pair of pandas!! 😀 👍

Indeed, those narrow lug width bracelets look very classy. The lack of an end link even strenghtens that. Also love the look of the new Bond seamaster mesh for that reason.

Mine is # 267
Noted and updated above. It's interesting how close some of our numbers are. Hubert is the only one with one in the 400s so far.

It's fabulous. I haven't worn anything else since getting it.
My girlfriend tried it on and didn't want to give it back.
My daughters both said it looked more special than the Ice King! (@Jim Dollares , I have told them I will pray for your forgiveness).
And... it's a panda (well, a silvery one), and the last of the glassboxes, what more do you want?

As long as you don't look at pictures of the original all day, I'm sure you'll be very happy with the dial color. It really is a gorgeous piece in its own right! I can't stop staring at mine!

In the unlikely chance it doesn't live up to your expectations, you can always flip it.

I could see the score being slightly higher at the end of 2023, too.

Well in that case I can see Jim dropping his score to 0.5

Protecting a certain Carrera’s position in the rankings, eh? 😉

I will patiently wait for your purchase, post and review. 😀😀😀
Looks like we'll both need to patiently wait. I went to place my order, only to find the 19mm size isn't currently available. 🙁
While it might not be as authentic a pairing compared to the US BoR, I do really like the look!
