Yes black strips over eyes are so retro

so commonly found in crime mags in the past.....but I like the black dial XP in WG.  That one looks great on any wrist.  Many thanks to Chopard Asia and Sincere for the post-Basel event.  Enjoyed the evening with Maxime, Patrick and the Chapord staff in attendance.  Not to forget our friend Kong and MTF.  Met new frineds from home and the far west and also the group of Singapore Purists who were present.  Great evening!

Hi Kong, Many thanks for the invite. My friend and I did enjoy ourselves very much. We met a lot of new friends who are also interested in watch appreciation and learnt new knowledge of and angle at this brand. Among all watches displaying there, I especi...  

Thanks for the pics, Stefan...

The HP takes quite decent pics at those lighting. Glad that Jeffery and you enjoyed the event. One of the best things in the PuristS gathering, you will get to meet people. We learned from one another. Which dial of XP you 'dreaming'? I like the Black dia... 

grey dial?

 
 By: FanFrancisco : May 10th, 2008-09:28
Hi Kong, I would like the "grey" (do I correctly desribe the color?) dial of XP. This color is very special one. Talked to Patrick during the dinner, he said he likes that color too. Stefan

Its also correct :-) ...to be exact...

 
 By: Kong : May 10th, 2008-12:50
Hi Stefan It is called Slate-grey. The spec is on this page : chopard.watchprosite.com And some real pics to tease you Kong L.U.C has 4 dial designs for Extra-Plate (XP) The Slate-Grey Dial & RG, latest by dial design by L.U.C... launched during Basel 200...  

really tempting!

 
 By: FanFrancisco : May 11th, 2008-08:09
Thanks Kong for correcting me. Yes, it is really tempting to me! I would aim to get either this or JLC master ultra thin with sub-dial (in 2008 SIHH) for my next watch : > Cheers, Stefan

More photo temptation

 
 By: MTF : May 12th, 2008-08:48
Dr Ma, We are biased here. Despite JLC being a respectable watch, the thoroughbred Chopard L.U.C. and family passion wins! Do the right thing! Be the right stuff! MTF...  

wow, very cool color...

Except those unique pieces which were grabbed during Basel. Heard there could be a piece coming over....we shall see. The best part, the PuristS present, could see and try every piece. After which they can compare notes among themselves on the spot! This ...

Thanks to Chopard LUC, Sincere and The Purists, and last but not least Kong for giving me the opportunity to learn more about LUC watches. It was indeed a rare treat to be able to handle almost the entire range of LUC watches. The new renditions of Chrono... 

Kong, it appears to be a first class event.

 
 By: ling5hk : May 9th, 2008-15:40
Good ambience, good company, good food and of course lots of good watches. Ahh, the test. We don't get the change to test our knowledge here in Malaysia. May be Patrick does not want us to feel embarrassed. Regards Ling

I was poison at the event.....

Congrats to your first L.U.C! ( we prefer to say L.U.C for this Chopard's high-horology line ) Glad both Allison & you enjoyed yourselves. Please tell us your impression after wearing it for week and some pics too Thanks. Kong

Huzzar !

RL, So glad that you embarked on your journey with Chopard L.U.C., a true manufacture watch. Irrespective of how various brands want to re-define "Manufacture", with a L.U.C., there are no "if-s and but-s"; it is a "thoroughbred" watch.........Level 1. Th...

Nice pun!

Kong, thanks for sharing. Looks like every one had a great time!

 
 By: Sleng : May 9th, 2008-22:07
Like what Ling has said, maybe there should be also a quiza for the MY purists. It will be more fun and interactive then. Excellent food, excellent company and excellent watches........... what more can you ask for?!

Outstanding
