Nice X-Mas present for myself...
 

Just recieved this...http://e-partssales.com/Merchant2/gr...ap07000016.jpg

It's OK as watches go. I'm not convinced of the strap being part of the watch (how do you replace it if it wears out) but it is very stylish. One cool thing is that there is a tire thread pattern on the inside of the strap, and its the Michelin Pilot Sport 2 thread pattern, just like on my car! Sweet.

Another nice item, I've not encountered is the non glare coating on the crystal. Head on its really makes the crystal dissappear.

The movement is quartz and probably the same a everyone elses. The frustrating thing is the minute counter on the Chrono only goes to 30.

It would have been nice if the hands were like the hands on the chrono package that comes with the 997 and the number fonts as well.

The name "Porsche" doesn't appear anywhere on the watch, just 911.

Price is $600.

Ah yes, you're the watch man. ... Nice. I guess once the tread wears out that's when you replace the band, no? ... Too bad it doesn't come in Pirelli P Zero tread pattern - I might be interested then. j/k

The Cayman watch is much nicer in my opinion. If you're going quartz, might as well go all out...

Very sharp. A PCA member I know just got one, the non-glare crystal is really slick. Must be hypo-allergenic -- 911 with Chrono, no wart! :burnout:

Yeah but tough to beat that Patek Phillipe 911 series.

maybe you can spec it with TPMS too?? :evilgrin:

I don't see the "Red Line" on the tac! :D

Typical porsche, make it a nonservice item. Can't just replace the band, gotta replace the whole watch.

i prefer this version

What? They don't offer one in Azurro California?

Basically you would be stuck having to order a replacement band through Porsche Design when it wears out, and you can expect to pay more than what you thought a rubber watch band should go for. But it should be fairly simple to separate the band from the watch, being very elastic and unbreakable. A close examination of how it was probably assembled should reveal how to take it apart.
