Inspired by the new Carrera book today
For a 36mm it looks big on your wrist 😲

Wish the later 39mm version (auto & sapphire) also had the Heuer (only) logo…

It's just perspective - because the camera was close to the watch.


I have owned the 39mm reissue (CV2113) as well. It's a lovely watch, and a great size, but the bezel is a little too rounded and bulbous for my liking. Aside from the logo, there are a few other issues as well... the date window, the font they used for automatic, plus I believe the sapphire is very expensive to replace if needed.

Albert's superior SEL with hands and lume matching perfectly.
Thanks Rob! 👍 It’s in original condition from 1996, excepting the leather strap (renewed some years ago), and bezel and crown (changed in the AD the last time the battery was replaced). It was my first -and only, until the Micrograph arrived- TAG Heuer 😀

Same watch on my wrist... in Charlie's old ManCave.

Don't look so big now does it?

Have a nice weekend.

Cool Monaco GP watch with the tyre tread rubber strap - nearly bought that at Bicester So-Many-Times!

I would do more frequent time checks with this one, so unique in the Carrera line, beautiful! 🥰

Thank you! I really wasn't planning on another watch. But its unique look is part of the reason I just had to have it.

I was wearing this combination for about 15 minutes today. I think it looks great on the bracelet.

Picked up this bracelet today, IMHO it looks way better than the rubber strap.

Thanks Michael. Not the best bracelet in the world obviously but instantly made it look a lot better.
