Thanks for the link.
I added my name to the waiting list, but I suspect I'm too late to get one.

Hope you get one, @BillC3. Good luck. It is really a cool piece, and CronotempVs provided excellent communication throughout. I was very impressed with them (and the Carrera).

I think at least 4-5 forum members have a Carrera CC.

For a Valjoux-based automatic chronograph, they really nailed the case & comfort on these…

The Carrera on a bracelet is London boutique only. The two Cal16 F1s are just new releases, and the Indy 500 F1 was launched at W&W.

The blue F1 chrono and the Indy 500 were very nice. The green is nice too, but the blue was better in my opinion.

The Carrera looked cool in the cabinet, but didn't look so good on the wrist. The bracelet seems too wide for the dial... shame cos the straps on these are pretty lame and I like the dials.

Odd , the calibre 16 are not showing up on the website here... maybe a regional release?

I've seen them in US Boutiques. They just don't show on the US website for some reason.

I don't know why but the Oxford Street boutique suddenly seems reluctant to let people walk around and browse on their own. The guy who walked in after me was asked to sit and wait until a staff member was free to deal with them. I don't know who decided that grown adults need to be escorted around the store but if they would have said that to me I would probably have said, okay I will go over the road to Selfridges and look at the Hublots, Cartiers, Chopards, Breitlings, Tudors, TAG Heuers, Mont Blancs, Breguets, Bulgaris, Vacherons, Panerais, IWCs, Bell & Ross, Audemar Piguets and Rolexes over there. Maybe I will come back after... but really I can look at watches without you holding my hand or giving me the story of Heuer.

Perhaps decided by the swiss that it is more luxurious if you must sit in a chair instead of browsing products in your own pace
