Chopard

I think you did well to choose this one over the black Cadence 8HF.

 

Not only is this sunburnt red dial truly eye-catching, but I personally like the symmetry of the ordinary dial with the four Roman numerals. On the dial of the 8HF, I tend to miss the III, VI & IX and I'm not very fond of the high frequency arrow symbol which, imo, deprives the dial of some part of its purity. But it might just be my personal taste of course. And I would agree that the XPS is quite a different watch: thinner, no date, small seconds, micro-rotor, dressy pink dial (and, like in the full yellow gold version, black brand name and minutes dots: a detail, which I personally like a little less, I prefer when they are white, as in most of the models, including the gorgeous tourbillon and this sunburnt dial). Anyway, lucky you to be able to afford both and to have been able to get this Australian edition! Wear them in good health!
