Here are some pics I took this morning of my new Chronomat. I mixed in some new ones I also took of my Colt GMT. I just used an Olympus point and shoot with 8 MP and a super macro function.

Great shots of both. The Chrono looks great - George certainly delivered a beautiful watch.

Congrats, and enjoy them both!

Congrats! I know you waited a long time for that. :)

I have never seen an all-graphite dial chronomat in person, so two questions: 1) Is the tachymeter scale black or grey? I know on the black-subdial version it is black, but it's hard to tell with the all-graphite dial from the pics I can find. Yours kinda looks black. 2) Are the subdials textured with the bullseye guioche pattern?

My current favorite chronomat is the rhodium dial, but the graphite one is quickly winning me over!
Thanks!

Mofongo

Thanks for the kind words. The tachymeter is the same graphite as the dial. I think the lighting in the pic makes it look black. The sub dials do have the textured bullseye pattern. It's a very impressive watch and wears very well.

I think the rhodium dial looks too white, I didn't have a choice since mine is used, but once you see it in person, I think you would prefer that over the rhodium
