    I noticed they’ve released a new update on the Carrera. I quite like it, anyone else?

    You can’t go far wrong with whatever colour dial you pick. I’ll visit my AD soon to see as have read comments on other forums that it seems smaller than its 44mm suggests.

    Couldn't agree more. Those classically elegant long lugs which rendered the original vintage 2447 such an iconic watch design, now obliterated in flabby, flatulent excessiveness that TH think is 'on-trend'.

    It’s a decent enough design. 44mm is large for a contemporary design, IMHO too large. I don’t think the designs have “longevity” compared with the way chronographs such as the Speedy, Navitimer, and Monaco do.

    About ten years ago, I bought a new CV2A10 Carrera which was 43mm
    I never wore it much and wished I’d saved a few hundred quid and bought the smaller CV2010 (41mm IIRC). I’d probably still have it if I had done.

    By far and away the best Carrera reissues IMHO though, are the CS311* models of the late nineties.

    These are nice enough and have the in house movement but a little too large for my liking and have no really stand out features.

    It's nice, but I totally agree it's ruined by being 44mm. If this had been a 39/40mm I'd have been completely sold on it.

    Although I still wish they would drop the "TAG" part from the logo and go back to the older, classic HEUER logo.

    .
    Agreed Dave, the correct size and a manual wind chrono movement, unthinkable that TH would do a new model with similar specs, more's the pity.

    I had mine up on SC recently but saw sense and withdrew it, they are a very good reissue of the original Jack Heuer design which unfortunately TH have strayed too far from with each new model.
