Christophe Claret X-Trem-1 Chocolate Watch
You know what tastes better than chocolate? Luxury chocolate. Oh, we like our sweets dressed up, for sure. Hershey's? No way, give us something imported from France and tell us they ship regularly to the doors of presidents and prime ministers everywhere. So what is better than a brown watch? An over $300,000 "chocolate" watch from the secret watch workshops of Christophe Claret (imported from Switzerland!).For 2014, Christophe Claret quietly releases a new version of the X-Trem-1 watch, known as the Christophe Claret X-Trem-1 Chocolate.

TRF members...Lets see your Connie Pie Pans

It would be interesting to hear as much info you have on the watch; Ref #, movement cal, Dial variations and any provenance you may have on the watch.This first watch was one of my last acquired, a classic pie pan bought to be a daily wear watch; ref # 2852-3 SC cal 505 (see below) in 14k capped SS case. Original cross hair dial that meets the MOY test (see below) with arabic numerals at 12/3/6/9 and a nice gentle patina.

At what point is it better to buy the black ceramic now, and be content with that instead of getting the Batman and probably end up paying back ��1,500 in Interest over 5 years.
