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,

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 ...

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

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...
