Chopard

Has your preference changed?

 

Guilt of spending the money or not buying from the AD? smile

The main question is has your preference changed?

Initially you were looking for some top chronographs.  Now you like 'ding-dong' watch.
If you are referring StrikeOne as an entry level repeater due to the pricing and it only strikes hourly, then the context could be right.

For your next question, its not easy to answer.  I've bought some watches, and sometimes, I asked myself, if I've not bought all these pieces and combined the monies spent and just shoot for 1 solid complicated piece...wouldn't that be great?

I doubt I can do that even if I turned back the clock.  Each piece bought, a new experience and insight gained.  It is like a continuous learning process about the various pieces/types and also about my preference.  My taste changes along  the journey.
I am happy for you if you can do that, somehow like short-cutting, perhaps it is really possible smile

 
Some beautiful pictures for you...the Titanium StrikeOne ............

Oh...asking for more good trouble :-)

Hi Wmclarenf1 I'm no guru even though answering your questions. For Q1, perhaps you could elaborate what you would like to know. It is still derived from the base movement of Cal 1.96. The StrikeOne movement is named as Cal. 96SH. It chimes every hour onl...

As you know, I'm really new to this and am still fibbing on the Dato. Feel bad for the AD cause they have been trying really hard. No fault of theirs but I guess for me jumping from a GO to a Dato and now this is a really big jump and I'm feeling some gui...

The Strike One's movement is done in house

About Chopard being "as inhouse as inhouse gets," that only applies to the LUC watches; the other lines like the Mille Miglias are based on the ETA movements. I have a MM GT XL and I'm absolutely impressed with the accuracy ~+1 second a day, so it's not a...
