Old and New, Gold and Blue
Well, it's been a minute! Stopping by to share an old love of mine, and a new one. Thwe 16/1860/1 stole my heart hears ago. The Alpine Eagle in Maritime Blue made me lust for and bring home an Alpine Eagle, a remarkably finished and comfortable watch I ne...
Something new something old. Welcome back.
The passion is always stronger when it runs deep.
Hi Jed, nice meeting you and chatting with you today...👍
Both are beautiful watches. Enjoy the new Alpine Eagle. My XPS says hi... ...
Ah, that's the pic you mentioned!
Great capture, and great to chat today. CaliforniaJed
JED! Welcome Back!!!
How have you been?!?!?! Your Chopard 1860 is lovely! One of my favorite watches period. I've got a similar 96-series movement in my Alpine Eagle XPS. I see you switched cars. V8 BMWs are B-M-Trouble Yous. Although I really liked my BMW 545i (when it was w...

Has it really been 6 years?!
Time flies, and welcome back! If you have a pic handy of the BACK of that 16/1860/1, I wouldn't complain if you shared it, since we don't get to see the /1 very often. We may have similar Chopard journeys -- first the 16/1860 series 20+ years ago, and the...
That sounds about right!
Nice to be back. I acquired a few in between these two, but like you, it seems, I could not resist adding an Alpine Eagle, too. Here are a couple of glimpses at the business side of the 16/1860, as requested. ;-) ...
