Gorgeous report, Jon!

Hi anaesdoc, that's what I thought first, many years ago...

I think I've heard it before somewhere=)
Fantastic!
Chopard continues to impress at every turn. They are a great manufacture. I hope to add an L.U.C. watch to my own collection someday. There are many desirable pieces in the collection IMO. Thanks for the great post! Cheers, Daos
