It is, which I think is fine...the original was divisive too. I used to own the white Montreal that was photographed in my post- loved it, but it's a big, blocky case that just wouldn't work in 2020.
I'd rather that TAG Heuer take a few design chances (let's face it, the Silver 160th Carrera is not going to offend anyone) rather than try and please everyone.

That's fair. You're right the silver model is certainly not going to offend to anyone but it is a tad dull. I guess we have each end of the spectrum with these two models, so maybe there will be some infill models that are not as conservative as the silver dial but less garish than the Montreal dial.
What if TAG Heuer made this a 2 register sub-dial? Closer to the Heuer Montreal inspiration. We know it can be done with the Viceroy Autavia Calibre Heuer 02. What do you guys think?

Yes, but not with the Montreal inspiration. I still want TH to make that Ford v Ferrari Matt Damon Carrera!
Can we have comparison pics of the Carrera Calibre18 Telemeter vs the Carrera Silver 160? Both are Carrera 39mm, glassbox, re-edition inspired. I like the perforated strap of the Telemeter vs the 160 strap TBH

When I get mine (don't know when), I can post some shots.
I believe the vintage Carrera (depending on which movement) is 12.5mm thick. I measure the new watch at 14.7mm thick. To me, that's not a huge difference.

But for some controversy and excitement you could report it as 12mm and 15mm and then say the new watch is 25% thicker!
