It's definitely purple.

路Dom, in real life does the subdial surround look white? Cos it sure as hell looks silver to me.

路I am very impressed with the dial finishing and the plating and polish on all the steel pieces - hands, indices, case...
I am looking forward to the day I get to perform the strap change for him.

路This shot shows a bit how the way light hits it, it all changes - dial is more silver, sub dial more white

路It doesn't help that the rehaut is white and still looks white even when the dial looks silver

Live shot. Subdials are definitely the same color as the dial but the rings do catch the light differently sometimes

路Not yet mentioned is how the Carrera engraving on the side breaks up the slabbiness very nicely

One thing to note is that this feels more like an evolution or modern take on the Carrera design. The 39mm feels more classically inspired with its more similar angles. The 42mm fits good on the wrist due to the length in the lugs being shorter than what they might be if the classic proportions were kept. It feels and looks like a modern watch.

路What's the betting on these selling out, vs turning up in an outlet?

路I might be wrong, but I'm under the impression that on-line stock can be redistributed to other countries if left unsold for too long.
At least there have been several cases where a LE watch had been sold out in the US, only to suddenly show up as available months (or even a year) later. Same for TH Boutiques as well.

Yes, as Jim said a few weeks ago Sweden suddenly got new supplies of unsold Ice Kings..

路@dtf, if you're on the fence, I'd go for it. I really doubt the blue will ever show up at a discount outlet.
I'm actually kind of glad it's been sold out since day 1 here in the US, as I don't want to be further tempted into buying. I love this watch, but I'm somewhat biased as a Porsche 911 Carrera owner. Looking at it more objectively, I feel $7,750 is just too much. Especially since a standard Carrera Elegant goes for $5650 and the Porsche x Carrera Sport (black & red version) w/ bracelet is $6,850. Still the heart wants what the heart wants...
