·Yes, I prefer the Daytona ringed version to the plain black dial to be honest, even though it's not a 100% faithful re-edition. Still a nice watch, but the subdials just get lost on the all black dial.

·Here are a few pics of my first Heuer. It is a cs3113 Carrera re-edition from the late 90’s. Not sure exactly when they started making this style of 36mm re-edition. I don’t believe this style was offered when they first started offering the Carrera 1964 re-editions. I know that this may not be considered a true Heuer to some and others might not consider it a vintage piece. But, to me, it is both those things while also being in fantastic condition (also, it did not cost as much as a 60’s example).
The 36mm Carrera case is the first reason I fell in love with the original Carreras. This watch has that exact case, not a modern interpretation. The long, sharp lugs and boxed acrylic crystal are perfection. I do like the newer 39mm “glass box” carrera case, but the 36mm case is still my favorite.
The dial is unique to this reference. The only other Carrera to sport the “Daytona” rings is the copper dialed cs3112 which came out at the same time as this watch. The dial makes this reference a kind of unique re-edition, which may be an oxymoron.
Although the cs3113 was not blessed with the Valjoux 72, it did get a well respected chronograph caliber. The Lemania 1873, which Omega calls the 1861, is the movement used in the Speedmaster Professional and Tag Heuer put it in this watch as well. The 1873 is a beautiful, reliable chronograph movement and when I first learned about the Carrera 1964 re-edition series, I was so stoked to see that they had used it.
Anyways, many of you probably know more about this stuff than I do, so I’ll stop rambling.
Fun fact- last weekend’s Italian Grand Prix was the 25th Anniversary of the relaunch of the Carrera. I’ve written something for TAG Heuer about this, which hopefully will be published in the next few weeks.

·Second generation 1969 Carrera bears no resemblance to the 1963 original- still a classic ‘70s design with more colour and the Calibre 11/12 movement. Photo by @veblenist
