    I just looked in the back of the new catalog and did not see a yellow/green Carrera. It really only comes in a couple combinations of black/silver, black/red, blue/orange, brown /orange. I would steer clear of that one, although it does look nice.

    Sorry ... if your Carrera Chrono shows WJ1110 on the case back its a FAKE. That's the number for a newer Link Quartz with a Black Dial. I've seen these Carrera Fakes. They have steel case back when it should have the see through.... LOTS of fake carreras out there..

    thats fake for sure man. A newer chronograph Carrera like that will have a "C" for chronograph as 1st letter of the model number and a "V" for Carrera as the 2nd letter in the model number.

    The "W" indicates a non-chrono watch and the "J" indicates the Link series. Furthermore the "1" in the 3rd spot of the model number indicates quartz movement when the carrera is supposed to be automatic

    I have been shopping for a new Carrera Chrono (CV....) for the past 2 months and doing my research. I double check all Carrera models using online and my AD. This is the first time I've seen this color combo.

    I really like the yellow/black combo. Wish tag would make it!

    Sorry huge fake,

    Serial number as mentioned is all wrong and the face,

    the '12' in the date window isnt centered as a real tag is and it seems like the tachymeter is off a little also. yellow on black is a little loud for me..
    Tag Heuer Carrera "Brad" edition, Bulova Classic, Seiko Sportura F1

    Im afraid I have the Disease of watch collecting

    I have never seen a Carrera with that color combo. most likely is fake.
