This is another one that I would happily go for if I had the funds. Like my Sinn 103, this watch would be perfect for going after Carlos The Jackal, circa 1982. It's a Heuer Carrera 510.523 with a Lemania 5100 under the bonnet.
I do not really know enough about TH to offer a truly interesting response. I would love to own a Grand Carrera GMT though
Those normally turn up in the LVMH friends and family sale, more so now that the watch is slated for being discontinued (or has production actually stopped already?).
Keep an eye out as they are always the biggest losers in the sales price stakes.

Thanks for the information, I was not aware!!! I believe production has already stopped.
The last time I asked them, they had only just produced the catalogue and the model wasn't in it but they couldn't tell me if production had stopped or not (y'know, fulfilling existing orders and/or whatnot). This was last year so I assume it has ceased but without confirmation, i rather not stick my neck out.
It is a good looking watch. A bit big maybe but short lugs makes it wearable even in smaller wrists.
The C17 chronograph, especially with the black dial is very eye catching with the Geneva striped windows on the sub-dials.
Man, I recall the big hoopla that TH made about the Grand Carrera series when it was first released. Clever line of watches and they were a pretty steady seller, considering their price point.

Some of the buzz around the Grand Carrera is that the watch marked a new direction in how the company would approach design; they adopted a strategy in the way that automotive companies do/did and went to an outside source for commissioned design work.
Enter London based Christoph Behling. In effect, his studio runs all of the design for the entire TAGHeuer (products - not cothing) brand.
Pretty much every new (prototyped) model since the Grand Carrera comes from his desk.
