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’ll stick with my PD over this, nice but not swopping.

 

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
that mindblowing bund autavia is not even a carrera.

 

It's called unconscious bias..... or something.

 

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.

 

This is the sort of mathematical thinking in which the hare never catches up to the tortoise.

 

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!

 

ouch!

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

 

Indeed!

 

Looks pretty damned nice in that shot eh?

 

loads better than in the hype beast pictures, I think this would look good on the wrist.

 

My Carrera pays tribute to this new Orange Racing Porsche release.

 

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
