Thanks again.
I'm going to move for the Lange Datograph flyback first and then have my eye on the Strike 1 Ttanium which will only arrive at my shores in Dec. I'm just still a tad hesitant not because I am doubting the Dato or the Strike 1 are good watches with lovely movements but more so that I am jumping from the price range of my Glashutte PanoLunar to a Dato. Big jump for me.
Strike One
Is there only one face design for this model? Reason I ask is in the latest Revolution I see Strike One with a different face design than the one I see on th Chopard website. Also, is this a self or manual wind? Any reason one should not get this time pie...
General information
wmclarenf1, I cannot comment about the watch you saw becuase I have not seen that magazine issue, but here are some general information. Chopard LUC seems to issue a Limited Edition of about 100 pieces as their inaugural production for any major model lau...
About as in-house as they come
LUC movements are entirely in-house from the design stage to the purchase of raw gold and brass metal bars to the making of components to the assembly...... Regards, MTF
Does it look like this?
Hi wmclarenf1 If it is as above, then it is the new Titanium casing versus the previous WG. The titanium casing, the chime is louder than in the WG. Hope that answer your question. MTF, thanks for answering the movement part. Kong...
Yes, this is the one!
Thanks Kong. I think this looks so much better with more of the movement displayed. This is NOT the limited 100 piece edition? Is this a self/manual wind movement and also is it an in-house movement? Any idea on the list price? Thanks.
Oh! Good...more pictures...
It has transformed to the TECH series exposing more of the movements. The original WG is a classic design. This Ti piece, the dial is also of better contrast. More pictures taken by KT... The L.U.C movements are considered in-house (though components like...
Thanks Kong
Thanks so much Kong. Sincere Singapore has it? I must give them a call. But it looks so beautiful. Does Chopard make good movements?
A bit conflict of interest if you ask me :-)
You are welcome. As this Ti is under the 2008 collection, it should be trickling in earliest by end 3rd Qtr (from previous experience). Ask your AD to inform you when it arrives. Hmm.. for the last question, I will ask you to wear your best finished watch...
I'm really..
... new to the world of horology and I'm afraid I won't be able to tell the subtle differences (or differences to begin with) at all. Am I reading you hint of quality with Chopard movements?
With LUC Fleurier, yes
They are nice movements, indeed ,and Kong is of course right, when he enhances the finish ... On the 1st prices watches, the movements are not worst nor better than others... But, hey, the Striker, my friend, is a very interesting watch...I love one of th...
