Which is the most popular / desirable C70 ?
One of the homage to early GP races in Britain, France, Italy etc models - or the Car specific C70s like the D-Type & Aston Martin ?

I rather like the greens, but there are seemingly endless variations on green in the range. For me it’s the yellow Ascari.

Re: Which is the most popular / desirable C70 ?
I would suspect that the C70 DBR1 is the most popular of the Grand Prix series. It has been released in three versions. The original C70 DBR1, a C70 DBR1 COSC model and the C70 DBR1-COSC - AM100.

The DBR and Ascari are my favourites and both on my list of watches I would like to own one daygaf1958 wrote:I rather like the greens, but there are seemingly endless variations on green in the range. For me it’s the yellow Ascari.
The VW4 and BRG are both lovely as well.
Re: Which is the most popular / desirable C70 ?
Thanks for that Kip - somebody else I spoke to yesterday also suggested that the DBR was the popular seller ...

Re: Which is the most popular / desirable C70 ?
I found an effectively brand-new Ascari on Bracelet - been stored since new along with Stablemates C70 FR & C70 IT (currently on EBaY @ £600 BiN)
My target now is the elusive C70 US 'Cunningham Stripe' ... rare as Rocking Horse poo it would seem !

Re: Which is the most popular / desirable C70 ?
So how many on here own a C70 US - 'Cunningham Stripe' ?
.... and would consider parting with it ?

Re: Which is the most popular / desirable C70 ?
I really like the D-Type, I used to drive a Mini Cooper in the same colour blue with white "go faster" pin stripes. The mini has since moved on but this watch is a keeper
