Goodwood are punting out a limited number of Carrera versions. As a GRRC member I get a reasonable discount. But are they worth it long term? I note that there's usually a release for almost every F1 race and those haven't done well.

I'd welcome thoughts!

If you're looking at one as an investment, I'd stay well clear! The association with Goodwood will put most people off, rather than increase it's long term value. Most of the TAG limited edition pieces have not done well, with exception to the Gulf series. However that is partly down to the fact that each piece is limited to around 5000, which is not that limited.

The Carrera is a lovely watch though. If you're after one, I'd seriously look at a standard piece and obtain some decent (20%) discount smile I'm guessing the Goodwood special edition pieces will be full RRP ... ?

If you know it's going to be a keeper and you like the association with Goodwood, what with you being a member, then this is the only reason to buy the special edition piece smile

Out of interest, what makes them limited? Different case back? Modified dial? Strap change? Engraving?

Modified dial. They're saying that it's limited to 250 of each of the 3 styles, and it's more than 20% RRP. But yes, you've confirmed my throughts on the 'specials', thanks smile

Agreed, steer clear as an investment.

If you like 'em and want to wear one, then fair enough.
