We all know how the clock face
is located.
The main function of an instrument is readability and so the numerals 12 and ,that obscure the dial sub-counters, are redundant....and maybe even.....annoying.
It does not matter if they are white or black numerals floating on the sapphire crystal...still redundant.
Just my opinion,

Mille Miglia 2008 GT XL Chrono or Speed Black 3?
F or Mille Miglia 2008 GT XL Chrono, there are 2 versions : 1) limited numbered edition of: 2008 in steel (Ref: 168459 - 3009) & 2) 500 in rose gold (Ref: 161268 - 5003). For this post will only be showing the steel version. MM GT XL Chrono- 2008 (Ref :16...
Good question!
But given these 2 to compare, i will go w Speed Black, partly cos of DLC coating.
Speaking as a MM veteran :-)
Hi David Have you seen the SpeedBlack 3 yet in the boutique? Kong
Hehe
Hi Kong, Sorry for the late reply. Was in KL this week drooling in the Chopard's boutique... Hehe.. Seems like KL doesn't have the Speed Black yet... I guess arriving at their stores soon.. David
Thanks Kong!
Great post, and many thanks for all the information and the side-by-side photo...now I'm REALLY confused because I think they both look great. Although I love the Speed Black, I think it's a little to extreme fashion for my tastes and the 08 Limited Editi...
Hmmm..confused further ...
Hi Kingrizla Seems like you have decided Please share with us what you finally purchase. Have a good weekend. Kong
Speed Black 3 for me
I've usually never been a fan of white dialed watches for some reason, so the Speed Black 3 would be my choice. Cheers, Anthony
Despite the floating white
numerals on the sapphire glass at 12 and 6, I prefer the Speed Black. Regards, MTF
If I read correctly, you do not prefer the ....
"floating white numerals". Could you share your reason/s? Thanks. Kong

I would still go with this one
I must admit that I love this watch, and it gets plenty of wrist time, however I am a little disconcerted that they have basically copied the LE from 2007 with different color dials for 08. In business sense I cant blame Chopard if the model is highly pop...
I prefer your model (2007) to the 2008...
At least the white numerals on the sapphire is not a stark contrast ...so could just see through the dial with 'less noise' than the black numerals. Would be nice if the numerals could be translucent. I share your thoughts, Scott. I hope there would be ne...
Thanks Kong
Im just being a complainer, as Chopard is a manufactuer that I really respect and admire. Their watches, and company are first rate in the industry. As far as this years LE, the blacked out version is really cool. I agree with you in that the contrast on ...
Ha...Scott...somtimes...
factual complainers are good. At least there are inputs from the field Thanks... have you got yourself any black watch yet? Kong
