I need help deciding the leather interior for my order. I do not believe I have seen the Olea Club leather in person. Online pictures do not show much of a difference. Any advice on that? Club leather costs extra $2450. Is it worth it?

Just my two cents.

I would focus more on if Olea offers a color combination you want that standard and full options don't. For instance, I wanted beige, but more black contrast than Limestone option so I went with Atacama. Worth upgrade for that. Truffle Brown is also beautiful in person.

Not sure I would upgrade to Olea if just getting black.

Thanks Doug. Yeah I want black interior and not looking for color combination. I switched to just black leather.

Just my two cents.

I've done a lot of research this

Leather quality is softer, stained differently, uses higher grade, less stretched hide. Has a more grainy texture. Better cow hide with less blemishes, Think of Aniline
It smells different due to the natural staining process. (Olea is an olive)

Additional Leather on the back of the front seat is in leather.

Neodyme accent and the sport Chrono clock dial is in neodyme

Standard leather is sanded down for uniformity, removing blemishes and stretched. This makes it less supple than Olea. Hide quality is good, not as good as Olea, but more durable.
