I got a package in the mail today from Fear! Who by the way is awesome to deal with, very courteous, easy to deal with, and very very quick shipping! Inside the box was a mint condition Carl Bucherer Traveltec. I was immediately surprised with the presentation box which is an awesome suitcase-like box. The massive size of the dial immediately put a huge smile on my face. It has been well over a year since I last tried this watch on, it's 46.6mm of sporty hotness! I took the bracelet off and replaced it with the OEM calf strap that Fear threw in and it's extremely comfortable. I'm really happy with it so far.

Looks great man, adds something just a little different from your already outstanding collection.

I really like this one Sergio. I would love to see it on your wrist. What does the pusher on the left side of the case do?

The pusher on the left side rotates the inner 24 hour bezel. When you turn the pusher one way it rotates the 24 hour bezel eastward. When you turn the pusher the other direction it rotates the 24 hour bezel westward. So when you are travel east or west you can set that time zone without having to move the hands of the watch. It's a pretty neat function, one that Carl Bucherer is currently in the process of patenting.

A beautiful watch! In my younger days I wanted a Rolex Presidential & never got it. Years later I saw my first CB & thought, wow that's a beautiful watch & that's when I started looking beyond my $250 Seiko. Congrats Serge, I too would like to see it on your arm.

Looks great man. It's certainly a big watch but it looks like it fits you perfectly.

I'm still waiting for a pic of the box :poke:

That is pretty sweet, and also seems to make an outstanding case for your growing collection of strap.
