Found this on the website this morning, going to have to see it to really assess it, but from this render I'm really unsure about that green...

 

Looks like a really nice fit with that strap

 

Not bad. Is this means we can expect some Aquaracer Chronograph in green as well in near future ?

 

Green looks a bit. Mucky? Sure they could do a bit better from the colour palette?

 

Yes, I'm hoping it's going to be a bit brighter in real life.

Off to London today, maybe I will see it on Oxford Street?

 

I did see it in Oxford Street... and it's quite nice, but the dial green is NOTHING like the bezel green. The dial is a very nice blue tinted sunburst green, while the bezel looks like moss.

Also, I heard there is a Heuer 02 Formula 1 coming.... and it's £5k!!!

 

Eeeeh whaaat

 

Spotted this one on a Facebook TH group, not a great photo as you can see

 

It looks great in those pictures, but the dial is mossy green the dial is bluey green. A real shame.

 

"just the right combination of colours to avoid looking like a Christmas decoration."

In pictures this watch looks amazing but have not seen one in any store

 

I wish I had taken a photo when I had the chance

 

In my case the link leads to the „Carrera 404“. The colour is still to be defined.

 

This was my most recent purchase, I wanted it because of the British Racing Green heritage it invoked.

The workmanship is fantastic, movements clean and crisp, and it draws attention whenever I wear it as well as being a pleasure to look at.

However, the greens ARE off, the truest green is the bezel as Aquagraph correctly points out and the shade does not match the face. The one imperfection in my amateur opinion.

I would absolutely recommend seeing it before buying it to be sure that you can tolerate the difference in green. I can...but just barely.

Best, M.

 

Michael, this is the point where you bomb this thread with 10+ photos taken by you in different lights so we can see the beauty

 

Please take photos Mike! Show these people my truth!
