Chopard

At 44mm some might be intimidated by its size but I find it wears about the same as my 42mm Explorer II, with slightly longer lug to lug. With this reference a rubber strap and a leather will follow as Chopard does offer straps for their chrono references...  

And you are climbing the ranks at chopard with light speed 👍 have a great new year 🥂

The size is perfect on you, and the dial is as beautiful as an alpine lake in winter!

Again big congrats!

5740.

Is this a special edition piece? The color in this size is mesmerizing, and the dark chrono markers make a big difference, as you said. Looking forward to how it looks on your strap choices.

I completely agree with your comment on the black markings. I like this much more. One general comment about the AE dimensions. I have tried on the 44mm chronos and 41mm pieces (except the XPS, still never seen that one live). None of them feel as large a... 

For example this chrono from bezel to bezel measures 40-41mm! So almost 2mm of crown guard on each side

Congratulations on your latest incoming 🎉🎊🎈

You are the AE king! 🤴

Great end to the year may you wear it in the best of health

love that dial color!

I would be tempted to add this if I don’t have the Maritime Blue, as you know my style. Big congrats 🥂

Cheers my friend

I like this - very special and seldom - AE iteration very much. It fits your wrist perfectly. I never would have thought of 44mm!! It looks definitely smaller on your wrist. I understood your explanation to Michael referring to that point. I like this wat... 

I find the chrono version only in this colour appealing, while the three handed versions are all good!

Or put another way, 4 AE charms! Wow, hope I’m not losing count now. Looks amazing on your wrist my friend! Enjoy and happy new year to you!

And the date window is perfectly integrated. Congratulations on getting this one 🥂

Cheers

We need a family shot now.
