I'm looking to pick up either a Carrera Automatic or Twin Time Automatic Carrera in the next couple of weeks. If I can find a reasonable priced used gen I would consider that as well, but wouldn't mind picking up one of each if I can find a good rep.
Ive had a rep black Carrera before and the glaring issue was the datewheel being white. Every gen Ive seen has the black datewheel with slightly different font. Today though I went on the Macy site and saw this:

Is this just a stock photo, or has anyone seen a black face w/ white datewheel?
Do you guys know anyone with the best rep of this, with a black datewheel and good font; or am I looking for a white unicorn? Also, the same applies to the twin time, Im looking for the best rep of one of these if I cant find a sub $1000 gen somewhere.
EDIT:
Also could you guys give any opinions on this piece:

I like the Calibre 5 version w/ the numbers on the dial. Any apparent issues or specific issues I should address when talking with the seller?
