The Middle Eastern market does prefer having a date and an automatic movement. This Chopard 96 movement is certainly capable of having a date - many 96 models have had dates. I'm actually really surprised the Alpine Eagle XPS LUC doesn't have a date, sinc...
But generally, I've seen the vast majority of shoppers in Silicon Valley at stores ask for two things when they shop for a "nice" watch; automatic first and date second. Even the Lange is ruled out sometimes due to its lack of an automatic by some. The Om...
This 96 series movement from Chopard is amongst the best on the market too. Micro rotor, COSC certified, Geneva Sea, and Swan Neck Spring! It's like those healthy foods with the gluten free certification, farm and pasture raised, no animal cruelty certifi...
The watch was designed to resemble the Genta watches and to be Chopard's equivalent to the AP RO Jumbo 15202 model. The Chopard arguably has a marginally better movement - COSC, Geneva Seal, and a Swan Neck Spring fine adjustment system.
This lucent steel... does it hold up better to scratching or is it similar to rolex for example? The thing holding me back here is the polished center link if you will. Once those are scratched it drives me crazy. On brushed steel I could care less.
So far so good for me but I’m usually very cautious. Actually shiny steel is not easy to see scratches…eg my steel bracelet 5960/1A…there are many scratches but because it’s shiny, you cannot really tell from far.
I love my OG blue dial Alpine Eagle but this is quite nice indeed. Only reservation is slightly small size of sub-seconds dial and is it a bit too high? (Fixing that would require a smaller case…) Does anyone know the price of the new LUC 1860? Best E.
