I am eager to! I mean using the small diameter movement in the watch.
If the entire watch were smaller, the movement would fit better.
But I love the size of the case. Too bad the movement could not be enlarged / reworked for the case. They could also nudge the sub seconds down a bit, which is one detail I feel could be improved. Still excited for it though!
Putting this watch's package along with the famous sports/bracelet models from PP 5711, AP Jumbo and VC Overseas.....

More pics! More pics!

Magnifico!! Chopard does well to hide the small diameter.
If only the watch were a few mm less, it might be a perfect timepiece. The finishing here looks superb.
