I have a pre-Carrera from the 1950's in my timepiece collection; but that's not the same animal. I'm just shocked about the cost of those in Skymiles. And God only knows why they aren't giving Rolex or Omega; which are the two major entry level luxury watches. I have both and love them equally.
Sounds about right. That is one RT LAX-BOS.
