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)

the Chopard would be my pick but it would need a different strap. Personally I am not a huge fan of either watch, I would suggest the breitling blacksteel but it doesnt have an open display back.

to me, the first one is clearer than the second one (easier to read)

i like it, sporty but classy
and not know to be replicated a lot (for the un-aware)

other watch showed up by members are nce too, but among the 2 choice you made, i'll go for the first

I just got a Chopard Gran Turismo XL (silver, not black) from Hontwatch. Best non-Panerai rep I've got. Looks and feels real/gen/expensive and movement is superb. I'd do the Chopard. Also have the B&R Phantom 02-91. I'd get behind that too.

I'm going to have to go with the Carrera. The ORIS is awesome as well, but to me the Tag is just perfect.

The Tag is a nice piece, but I've already got a Monaco with a similar strap. The Oris is quite slick also, but I'm starting to really feel the 'flat' black of the Porsche. I'm not ordering to early next week, so keep the ideas coming if you got em! :D
