I'm sure we could reach a consensus and use a 1887 case, even though a bit thick.
Plenty of those around.
Yes, but there have been enough 41mm heritage Heuer Carreras- we had 5-6 of panda/ reverse panda models in different colours. To be economic, it has to be an existing case/ movement combo- while the Heuer-02 would fit the 41mm Carrera case, the quality assurance process hasn't been done yet, so that's out.
If the idea gets any traction this year, it won't be a Carrera...but if the first one goes well, then the second one could be.
To be fair, this is one of a series of watches done for World Tempus' 16th anniversary- and they all look to be the same, i.e. standard watch with a large "16"
