Oh I see. Well, that was an easy misunderstanding to make since you haven't made a list.

Thanks for the votes guys. Keep them coming. Too much banter and not enough photos as well.

Sorry Charlie, Yago provoked me.

And here we were minding our own business and praising the glassbox Carreras. Then Cartman shows up.

Hmmm but okay sir. Alot of things to consider since Glassbox Carreras came out with two chrono movements and also thickness of the watch varies. In a purely design perspective, I can probably do that 👍
Just rank them in the order in which you'd like to own them I guess.

I've got a spreadsheet going with the results so far. I won't spoil it just yet, but will wait till I get a few more responses. Probably no real surprises (especially as the rankings are here for all to see), but it's really close between a few models.

It's funny because I had very little interest in the Skipper or Blue Dreamer when they were initially released. I was actually more interested in the Telemeter, but didn't buy one as it didn't impress me that much in person. The Skipper has grown on me the most, but not enough that I'd actively pursue searching for one. The Teal also has grown on me quite a bit.

My personal ranking, based on what I'd want to own.

1. 60th Anniversary Carrera (The Panda King sits upon the Iron Throne.)
2. Skipper
3. Dato
4. Blue Dreamer
5. Teal
6. Silver 160th (Tied)
6. Montreal 160th (Tied. I could never decide which I liked better between the 160th models)
8. Telemeter
9. Fragment
10. Red

I'll add that if I were to rank based on pure aesthetics, my list would probably be slightly different.

Based on what I'd want to own, there's less room for redundancy. For example, since I prefer the Dato, the Fragment falls down lower in my list. Same thing with having two Silvers; the Panda is my preference, but if it didn't exist, the Silver 160th would be higher up.

The only forum member who I think might own all 10 glassbox Carreras is @Slomosen. At least he had all of them up to the Teal Carrera's release. He hasn't been active here recently, so don't know if he's gotten the Red and the Panda.

I’d like to give credit and thanks to friends who helped me got my Glassbox Carreras in which without their help I couldn’t really get one! Sir @Anthony.R for the Panda King and a good friend in the US for the Dato King 👍

All Glassbox Carreras are truly beautiful, that pays homage to the rich heritage of Heuer. I’m grateful to TAG Heuer for this 😀

He was seen last active in the forum since last October 2021.. (exactly 4 months ago) 🙁 Some may have been astrayed when Calibre11 forum shifted to THF 😲
