Yes... I second that that it is one of the BEST Tag ever

This carrera is one of the best looking carrera.... these are the following reasons:

  1. The simplistic, yet effective, white numerals under Black face simply work perfectly! It makes reading time a joy and with ease.
  2. It is unique: it is the only face with white numerals for Carrera. 
  3. The checkered flag design face gives it a mysterious and magical appeal for it appears and disappears at different angles. It is like having 2 watches in one.
  4. In short, the Best carrera out there. smile
A side-issue, for this limited edition Carrera, any special box given or is it still the traditional black version? The reason for this question is because I notice for the no. 1 piece (the one for the auction) has a special box.

Anyone out there who bought this knows if it comes with a special box?

Glad that the posts could 'bring' some of you nearer to the scenes. I (and my camera/lens) was awaken this round with a surprise champagne spray by Lewis Hamilton! That's the hazard of getting too close ...if not too close, how can we see their watches Ko...

it was one of the watches I can't forget from the 2004 Basel fair. So this means to me that I really liked it then. I was quite impressed with such a stunning "thing", so different from the rest, with those big belts (not as tiny as the actual one) and th... 

thanks for another excellent report Kong

i didnt realise that the V4 hasnt actually been released yet. thats 5 1/2 years since it was at basel which does seem a bit ridiculous unless the original wasnt a working model. even prototype cars get made quicker than that more importantly Kong, what is...
