Very nice but seems expensive? Or am I out of date with Carrera prices?
High, but not extreme. These prices are in GBP, so 6350 in EUR for a private sale and 7800 for a dealer sale, when in mint condition. Have seen multiple dealers posting for up to 9k and recently even a 10k 3647 NT. Source: https://www.heuerpriceguide.com/carrera-1960s-price-guide
This landed at the T household today. I really wasn’t looking for any major purchases right now, in fact I’m meant to be selling a few but o couldn’t let this one pass.
The pictures seemed to show exactly what I look for, an unloved watch that’s been sitting in a drawer for years, dirty and with a terribly crystal, but highly original with great bones (eg dial and case - the movement wasn’t pictured but I took a gamble).
Here we are.
Early 2447s, 63xxx serial with correct unsigned crown, mint dial, beautiful lume and a movement that looks like it’s barely been touched. I love it.

Now that is a nice Heuer David!
The dial and lume looks amazing, and the movement is sooo clean - Congrats!
But you have done cleaning on the case already?
I have followed a few sales on these (and other Carreras), and they often have dirty/grubby dials and other issues - so you must be very pleased!
And in love!
