For me the winner is in the center...
While I'd prefer no date I think just dropping the date w/o adding a 6 o'clock stub marker leaves a lot of empty space below the subdial.. And I am not a fan of the new asymmetric gulloche pattern that is centered on the Chopard logo. Much prefer the original pattern on the watch in the center. The original slender case is also more elegant I think.
L.U.C. 1860 Dials
Had a chance to photograph these three side-by-side today. The lighting was challenging, but we can see the difference. Left: Steel, "Revolution" (limited) edition with golden dial. Center: White gold, original 1860/2 (c.1998) with salmon dial and date Ri...
It's a tie between the middle one and the one on the left...
... which I think looks decent on this bracelet. ...
Nice comparison shot👌🏽 That is quite a difference in salmon hue between the original and newer version, unless it’s a lighting effect.
The original seems more striking and attractive, in the picture at least.

Excellent points!
I'd been thinking the same thing about the new no-date dials but I hadn't previously noticed the case difference. The current one looks a little blocky, doesn't it?
thanks for sharing...I have seen in metal the Steel Salmon re-edition but not the other two.
I tend to like the Revolution edition though...not sure I'll change my mind when I see in metal. The salmon is nice but I feel the Revolution edition is a tad dynamic. Best, mahesh.,
