LOVE the design. One of my favorite Chrono watches of all time.

But for the $7,700 price tag you can buy both original versions, one Lemania 5100 and one 7750.

2 example below and plenty more on eBay.

Nice, but when you've had the original, that seems very expensive.

I prefer the non PVD versions

Looks awesome but price is keeping me away.
Curious how it’ll do in the secondary market.

Beautiful watch Andrew, and mean ! :headbang: :)

Love just the design as well as how timeless, or ahead of it's time
it is. Seriously, it's so sleek it almost feels as if it is moving, or could
cut through the air like a genuine Porsche could. 8-) Then you have
the finish which I swear even more horsepower to an already extra
cool watch.

Really is awesome, and if you were to look up the word awesome
itself, this watch might just be there as an example. :grin:

Thank you very much for the look !!!

Now I'm a Porsche 911 owner wanker, I'm looking for a chrono, haven't owned a chrono for a very long time, and this sadly is not the one. leaning towards a Tudor Heritage Chrono blue...

I wonder who makes this for them? Is it still Eterna or some other company? Eterna make one for them not long ago that was very similar and much less expensive.

You own a Porsche. Just get the Daytona.

It was IWC, then Eterna and now Porsche Design is its own company…

Curious who actually makes them. Do they own their own production/assembly now? I figured they subcontracted to a good Swiss factory like Roventa Henex

Looks like they've released a regular production version with a few minor tweaks, $10,500.
