I'm not sure about the thickness of the chrono though...loses it's elegance from the side...
Lovely 60’s vibes very vintage Carrera in 40mm.

Thickness looks on a par with modern carrera chrono watches, maybe a smidge thicker. Otherwise that’s a beauty and 40mm hand wind and retro vibes.. what’s not to like?

I'm a big fan of the original.
That's fantastic.....I'll bet the thickness was under 14mm on the vintage one ;-)Originally Posted by JNH

I had an original (three sub-dial) and it was quite thick.

I like it but I would of preferred a brushed case.
An exhibition case back wouldn't of gone a miss either.

Spotted that, thought the auto’s thickness was prohibitive to me. Then I was shocked to see that the hand wind is only about half a mm thinner!
Yes, I can deal with thick watches but the barrel like profile makes it seem worse to me. I'm currently wearing a 15mm thick watch but the sides don't come down to the case back so the profile looks a lot better and the watch sits well on the wrist. I can imagine all of these will wear comfortably as they are on a leather strap but I think I'll be going for the three-hand 11mm non-chrono version if ever that gets to the top of my want list.
It is, but it is still 12mm and a 36mm diameter. Although it doesn’t wear 12mm thick at all. 2 or 3 of those are the acrylic.
I like that, would have preferred a display case back though. Also 60 hour power reserve is quite nice.
Lovely....

Lovely lookers and a good price but I wish they hadn't written "mechanical" on it.
Cheers,

I have both the automatic versions and they are great value for money. They are thick but don't feel uncomfortable on the wrist and the polished finish is really nice in person. I do like the lack of a date on the manual wind but agree the "mechanical" is a bit naff on the dial. I'd get the reverse panda if I were buying.
