Chopard Happy Sport Square 278893-3006
I was wondering what people in this forum thought about the Ladies" Happy Sport Square with 5 floating diamonds,
5 blue sapphire cabochons with a white dial on a stainless steel bracelet (Ref. #: 278893-3006). It is the older style
with the older style bracelet. The newer version has only one blue sapphire cabochon whereas the older version has
5 blue sapphire cabochons with a white dial on a stainless steel bracelet. The newer version also has the Roman numerals at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock in a stainless steel color compared with the older version which has the Roman numerals in blue. The bracelet on the older style is very different from the new Happy Sport Square Mini. I feel that the older bracelet style is more feminine, but I want other people's opinions. I can get the older style version from an authorized dealer, but I wanted to know from the people in this forum which version people prefer given that the price is not a factor.
Thank you,
John

My thoughts ...
Hi John I hope you are referring to this one, found in an old catalogue. The naming of this particular model is not 'right', as a Sport, it is more of a evergreen classic. In term of proportion, the Square case is pleasing versus the current rectangular c...
Without seeing both versions
I can only make a generalisation about Chopard and the Happy Sport range. The older model should be good quality. I won't be drawn into a Then & Now debate but generally, between 1963 and 2012, when comparing an old and new version of the same model a...
