It's quite something, isn't it. 😀

I saw the new Twin Time in the boutique the other day and have to say that it looks as bad in the metal as it does in the pictures. I'm pretty certain this is down to my dislike of the skeleton dial and Mickey Mouse sized bezels of recent Carreras and not the specifics of the T-T design. Anyway, glad you guys like it. We can't all like the same watches!

I also glanced at the Aston Martin Carrera and it looked underwhelming. I may pop in another day and ask them to get it out of the display case though for a closer look.

What I've found is that under a store's lighting, all the polished surfaces become overwhelming and they can cheapen the product.

However, under normal lighting conditions and when you actually wear it, all the reflective surfaces become subdued and everything comes together in the way the designers intended it to be appreciated.

My 2000 Exclusive is back from Watchfinder and the chrono appears to be functioning correctly now. 👍

After all this time, i still think Heuer01 is one hell of a movement despite the early controversy surrounding it...😉

In interesting comparison picture between the original Carrera and the new Calibre16 from @nortime_sweden

So despite the huge case diameter increase, the lugs of the calibre 16 are actually shorter than the original? ::facepalm1::

The lugs also seem much rounder. Tell tale sign of a polished watch on vintage pieces so not desirable on a new carrera imo.

Yes, the proportions don't scale. I imagine if they did, the gaps would be too pronounced.

Thank you! I was on the same boat as you. Finding true NOS was difficult and expensive, but it's finally here. 😁

And added bonus for the wait - an additional year of warranty cover. 😀

Enjoy in good health!

Thanks! Although I must clarify, I purchased it from a collector in the UK, who originally bought it as an investment and kept it "factory sealed" in a bank vault, until he finally decided to sell it last year. In the end, he got close to double the retail price, so this ended up being a pretty good move for him, and not too bad for me, as I benefited from the Brexit-caused low exchange rate.
