My first Chopard

Jul 28, 2021,16:48 PM
 












L.U.C Classic 1937 with Silver Dial, black Alligator. Ordered extra strap Green Alligator from Kaufmann Straps. Fascinating and elegant watch with Roman numerals. After 16 watches in 7years I ended with my number 17 here. A lot of watch for not to much money. Will it be a keeper for me? - I just hope. 
Regards, Daniel

Thanks for your welcome. Chopard really knows how to make beautiful watches! So many people don't recognize this brand.

Hands and numerals are top-drawer...

...but I'd prefer it without the date.

Date window

I will always miss it, if there is no date window.

Simply nice

Too bad Chopard is not more successful amongst collectors, their movements are certainly top notch from what I can see Here is one that has been on my mind for many years: quite a perfect daily dress watch if such a thing exists. Credit Timeandtide ...  

Great choice!

I've long had an interest in this watch, but never handled one in person. At 42mm with a thin bezel and expansive dial, I've always held back, thinking it'd wear too big for me. What do you think, size and feel wise?

Great choice, yes !

The watch is 42mm and 10.66mm, weight is 80gr. For my arm of 18cm it is just nice. Not heavy, very comfortable. But I don't want it to be bigger, to be honest. Watches of 43mm and more I don't like on my wrist. At last it depends on the style of the brace...  

Just perfect on your wrist..
