So does anyone have a Grand Carrera other than me? I honestly can't remember seeing anyone post one in the WRUW thread, but surely someone must have one... five odd years in production, chronometer certified, diamond bezels, these were pukka TAGs.

About ten years ago, I had two chronographs (white dial Calibre 17 on brown leather strap and Calibre 36 on black rubber strap). I really enjoyed both pieces, and I wish I still had the Calibre 36.

My only Grand Carrera at this time is a black Calibre 6 on a black leather strap.

If I recall correctly, someone posted a white Calibre 6 over the past year (when we were still the C11 forum).

A mate at my last job had a grand carrera, gmt i think. Looked like a smart thing.

I’m sure I’ve seen one (other than yours) posted on here.

Yes! This is what I am talking about, Grand Carreras are positively pornographic in their photogenicity!

I tried this on, well actually the one I tried on had a brown dial, it was in 2018 and it was £4895 (after 40% discount!).

I thought I didn't like the GC chronos but this is something I would definitely wear and enjoy!




@jamesbizs do you think the crown is solid? 😉

Yes I know, there is so much gold in the frame they had no choice.

Precious metal > functionality

After 13 years this guy still holds close to C.O.S.C spec. It is going for complete service soon.

Why are you doing a full service if it runs perfectly?

Maybe he got the email from Watchfinder too?

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it?
