Heuer 7723 "Economy Class"...

Poor man's Carrera, easy to see under Clebar or Baylor brands but rare in Heuer...

Clean dial, without tachymeter, 30d min register...

36mm steel case ( the brother 7721 was nickel cased )...

The crown is not steel, as you can see...

The screwed back...

Inside, the Valjoux 7730...

Very cool

I had one of the Tag Heuer "Heuer Carrera" re-issue watches that came out in the late 90's. It had the handwind Lemania 1863 "moon watch" movement in it.

I sold it, because I felt it was too small at 36mm. Wish I had never let it go as I would be fine wearing a 36mm watch now.
