路路TAG Heuer Forums ModeratorI personally think the silver dial was the better move - TAG does metallic dials very very well, and I think the larger size would not have suited a flat black dial.

路The recent Fujiwara edition was not too bad. Its main issue was its oversized subdials and the in-dial tachymeter scale, which distorts quite a bit with the glassbox dome. I would love a 2447N with the proper proportions.
Yeah, not bad, but I still don't think the glassbox would be as easy to overlook with a black dial. The silver dial grabs all your attention so it ends up not really mattering, but the chapter ring is a big part of the aesthetic of the black dial 2447 & 3647s I've found.

路For the Carrera Fragment, were the subdials purposedly enlarged due to the lack of carrera hour markers?

路When they do Heuer02's without date, does it have a ghost mode of the crown for setting the date but no date visible?

路I have a color preference for black dials and man does that Fragment Carrera look good! It's just too expensive for me to justify, especially given the price of the 160th.

Sellers will say that it's rare and of course they are. But the thing is, they're not selling at that price. All the ones on Chrono24 have been there for months.

路路TAG Heuer Forums ModeratorJeff Stein from on the Dash posted some comparison shots between Mk1 egg-shell (1963) vs the black dial (1968) MkII.
Notice the different hour markers, hands, subregisters? I wonder if the future 2447N re-edition will have the same changes?

路The look is strikingly different if the chapter ring blends well with the dial or not.

路The long markers are a lot nicer on plain silver or black dials like on the original 2447s and 2447n. However they don't work well with contrasting subdials imo. In that case the long markers seem too close to the subdials and the dial starts looking cluttered. The 2447sn pictured above wouldn't look as nice with long markers I think. I don't believe Heuer ever made contrasting dials with long markers. Perhaps photoshop can help us out there.
