·Anything with Porsche printed on it sells. Can’t help but wonder what the boys snd girls at Porsche Design think about all this.

·I'm not saying it's great, but I can't help thinking the main problem with this is that it isn't a white dial elegant Carrera with a Porsche stitched Nato. 😗

·We just made loads of points that have nothing to do with it not being a glassbox 😁

·My wristshot for what it’s worth
I found I like it quite a bit. More than the yellow one this feels a bit more cohesive as a design, the black and red working well together. I’m personally not a fan of the ‘stopwatch’ dials with 60-second (or minute) markers and I agree the implementation of the tachy scale markers is a bit too similar to the dial minute track. But I could easily see myself picking one of these up for fun if I had the extra cash

·Grand of you to have such insight of yourself
See this is a conundrum. I believe I scored the white blue Carrera 7.5 (from memory that is, I don't keep a record to be honest). On the face of it I would give this a 7. But, I would buy this over the blue/white one.... so it should be an 8, but I can't give it 8. 😵💫

·The flaw is in my scoring, because I overscored the blue/white Carrera... because I didn't score it 100% on my feelings towards it but whether I felt it worked as a design - regardless of whether I would personally buy it.

·I was just thinking, if my actual Porsche hadn't just cost me the retail price of this watch in repairs, I might've bought this one impulsively!

·Looks so much better in some pictures, flash/glare does not do it any favours.

·Quoted from the article above
“In this edition, the designers of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph x Porsche Orange Racing decided to leave out the Calibre designation and power reserve capability “statements” found in the previous edition at 6 o’clock. All for the better, the crowded dial needed some space, and this decision made the date window a little more obvious, not lost.”
This right here is subtle but makes a big difference to me as well. Hopefully we see them delete this information from all future chronographs.

·Comparing the 3, my preference is as follows:
1. Yellow & Black
2. Orange & Black (Too many inner orange circles for my taste)
3. Black with Red touches
