Default Color tach and chrono

I have a yellow 992 coming and a few weeks left to change options. I have the yellow tachometer but the question is, should I match the sport Chrono to yellow as well? Anyone have any good pics of either option?

For me its either none or both.

Assuming yellow car, black interior, yellow chrono/tach + yellow belts looks awesome. And if you happened to put PCCBs on the spec you'd be 10/10 in the looks dept.

disagree....
chrono is important and unless you are on a track, sport chrono is an ugly wart
so why accent it's ugliness?

my 992s has a white tach and a black chrono.....

I went back and forth. My car is GT silver w/ black interior & red seat belts. I ended up spec'ing the red tach dial, but left the chrono timer dial black so as to not have any unnecessary distraction while driving / scanning over the dash. I am very happy with my choices.

Also you might consider the Lloyd floor mats with a logo (Porsche / Carrera / Turbo / whatever you choose) and edge binding in a color matching the tach and/or chrono dials. HUGE upgrade (quality and look) over the crap factory floor mats. I chose black mats w/ red logo & edge binding - looks great!

I have a dolomite silver with a white tach, black sport chronology and silver belts and black interior

Also bought the Lloyd's mats- they are luxurious compared to the crap that came with the car!

I ordered a Guards Red car with Sport-Tex interior and red belts and tach. While I don't agree that the SC clock is an ugly wart, I do think it blends into the dash better without the colored face.

The SC dial is iconic. It reminds of a classic timepiece. If you're a watch guy, you love & appreciate the look.

ps. I think it's time someone starts a sport-tex owners club =P

Could you post a pic please? I'm curious to see what it looks like with just tach.

Any way you'd be willing to post a pic?

I totally agree on both the SC dial and the Sport-Tex front.

All or nothing and if you went with the yellow deviated stitching, your build would be 11/10.
