cheswick Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 OK, so my next purchase is about to happen. Here's my criteria: Must be all black or close to it. Must have clear caseback to display movement with engraved rotor showing. Budget is less than $400. Preferably closer to $300. I've thought lots about the Hublot Big Bang Lite's but the sticker on the rotor is a deal breaker- plus they're a little too much $$. Gave some thought to the Concord C1 but it's just not black enough. So my finalist's are... (drumroll please) OR Your thoughts? I am open to other ideas everyone so let's here em!

siesta181 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yup IWC TG V2. It does not have a clear caseback though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 I always love when people say, "I have narrowed it to these watches, help me choose" - and people come back with completely different watches that don't even fill the OP's requirements... it never fails! I like the Porsche, that's my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z3k0 Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Porsche looks sweet, it would be my choice of these two. That shiny PVD on Chopard really kills it for me. Just to add, Porsche is not quite similar to gen, but still very nice. It should be PVD coated titanium, and should look like this: regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Porsche Design is the cleaner of the two, I think. Even better if you have a Porsche to drive while the Porsche Design is on the wrist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 If size matters, keep in mind that the Chopard wears much bigger on the wrist. I have both and will be "releasing" my Chopard this weekend. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Unless the Porsche is phantom lumed, I'd go for the Chopard, simply for the night visibility Another suggestion, is if you see a chrono with black dial that fits your criteria other than having an SS case, why not get it, and then get it DLC coated? I've seen some pretty impressive results lately Best of luck with your decision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sql_pl Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Yup, Porsche it is! I can;t get it out of my head and I guess will go for one soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morlock Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 My vote goes to the Chopard, it's a beautiful design, and very close to the gen I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCraig Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 Porsche, first, Porsche second. Had the Chopard for just long enough to sell it for a loss. The 12 and 6 painted on the inside of the crystal are distracting and ruin the look from many different viewpoints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheswick Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 I was kinda feeling the Porsche more to begin with. I do love the IWC Top Gun but I gotta have the clear caseback for this run. Someone at RWI recommended me this Oris: http://www.watcheden.com/oris-tt3-limited-...-21351-p-1.html but now I'm noticing the shiny PVD and thinking the Flat black looks better. I'd love to get a SS watch and DLC it, but it just ain't in the budget right now. Thanks all for your opinion, still open to any other fresh ideas if you got em! Probably placing my order early next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
