Chopard

Yesterday, while waiting for my dental appointment, I wandered into the Chopard boutique in the hope of taking a look at the 1860SS in the flesh but was told that the waiting list was very, very long. Instead I stumbled across this limited edition WG piec...  

You are very fortunate to be able to do that, congratulations.

Nice to have a faster heartbeat whenever I see it

This is a fantastic purchase! Wear it often.

Hope ti does not become a safe queen....

The ultimate dentist de-stresser 😉

Very expensive consultation indeed

Romain Gathier and Laurent Ferrier's micro-rotor models...

But if I ever try to sell it...I will lose a fortune

...but if you buy what you love (and can afford) you are OK. The obvious solution is to buy pre-owned, but there are some things that you just want new...I totally understand that.

Yes, I am mentally prepared and can afford that :P The theoretical loss is probably a fraction of the profit I made from watches two years back

Well done, and I think this is a watch that can also be worn casually.

I will try wearing it on normal days with casual wear...

Great looking watch, Wonderful movement, visually and technically, Rare (these days) and beautiful officers' case, You bought a piece of art, from a great house admired by many "who knows", and you can strap this art on and take it with you. perfect. Cong... 

I could not describe the merits any better ...

I know you like everything except the date window :P

I would have also been very tempted. A good friend got the green dial/yellow gold version last year. The hunter case back is very cool. Great watch I am sure you will enjoy! I think you can wear it fairly casually nowadays.

These days, everybody is craving for the Salmon dial...

Very nice Chopard! Congrats to it.

I unloaded the bulk of my portfolio two years ago and made a handsome profit, so I cannot complain

Wear it in good health. Thanks for posting. Regards

I will wear it this weekend at a banquet...

I really like this hunter caseback with guilloche! I think if you change it off the black leather to something else it will be less formal. Have the boutique throw in another strap!

They did....already ordered a shiny navy blue croco strap. Will take two to three months I was told.

movement, but recently found the micro-motor just as acceptable...

Normally I would wait a couple of days before making the plunge. This time, I made the decision on the spot.

Makes me happy just looking at it.

Stunning watch. I absolutely love the engraving on the back.

This watch ticks all the right boxes

An absolute beauty. Enjoy it in good (dental) health

I was just fitting my nightguard.

you have fantastic taste and I think this watch is ideally suited for a retired person who doesn't have to worry about fixing pipes on deep sea oil rigs, flying a plane from jakarta to toronto three times per week, or timing the speed of your new space X ... 

Thank you for your kind words. These days I am mainly drawn to time only watches with beautiful dials and no complications.

Outstanding timepiece bravo enjoy.

Dial, officer’s caseback and movement. The crown looks unique too. Can you possibly share photos of the crown?

The crown is almost like a mono pusher, pressing which will open the hunter case. Will share photos when I take it out of the safe...

This is the engraving inside the caseback And this is the crown, engraved LUC ...  

It would look sportier and acceptable for daily wear with a light blue or gray or green strap imho. Hope you use it often and have fun. That hunter case is to die for really.

I will take the watch to the boutique and pair it with the color you mentioned.

Hope you can find a color to your liking
