I really like this model
and I think you made a great choice when choosing it.
The only detail I’m not fond of is the seconds hand counterweight.
My LUC is definitely on the wrist this weekend and since a few days.
Wishing you a great weekend.
Best, Emmanuel
Chopard’s pre-Alpine Eagle tool watch - the LUC Sport 2000 🤺
Many a year ago I found myself in a situation where both Chopard’s were in the spa at the same time. That made me a bit trigger happy and I figured it was time for a new watch. The choice was between a Taiwan limited edition GS (forgot the name in the mea...
It is a different watch from a different time 😊
As I have very little thirst for bracelets, I would have tried to remove it from the AE, which would leave me with a proprietary attachment system and little flexibility. Do like the 8Hz movement that comes with some AEs but I got that on the LUC 8HF, tha...
Indeed - here it’s not that hot to make much of a difference
And in summer one is often in air conditioned spaces 😊🤷🏻♂️

A wonderful watch for the weekend 🙌🏻👌🏻
Works just as well during the week, too 😉 The counterweight might be an acquired taste, sure. I just felt it was a lovely detail back in the day. Even though I am not called Luc 🤣
One of the first watches that raised my interest in the LUC models!
And still today one of the best values out there.
That it most certainly is…
They were even better value some years ago but even at today’s prices these are hard to beat 👍🏻
I absolutely love this watch and it is my favourite of all my watches that I have kept.
I agree with nearly everything you say other than mine is on the LUC Sport bracelet and I love it on it as it is IMO one of the best bracelets out there so well made and comfortable too. Mine is the slightly rarer blue dial version and being the Ltd Editi...
Nice to see someone else thoroughly appreciating it 😊👍🏻
Mine is also a blue dial version and came in the same box. Reminding me (given the beehive logo on the box), Chopard honey is pretty good, too 😉👍🏻 A great specimen and it looks very good on the bracelet, too 👌🏻
These are fantastic...
...I was at a small talk given by a billionaire Silicon Valley founder many years ago when this was current. He was wearing this watch and of course, I noticed. Afterward i spoke to him and talked to him about it, even referencing the movement specs. He w...
that is black dial with the old AR coating that makes it appear blue....
luc serviced with current hands more on yellow side ...
yes, the older AR coating had a noticeable blue hue to it. If you look closely, the AR coating is mostly on the right half of the photo...stops at the 23 minute mark....
the new crystal does not have a top coat of AR i beliveve, only the underside which is more common these days
The tungsten rotor is an added bonus 😊
It is one of the loudest watches I have, though 😂🤷🏻♂️
