Thanks so much for joining in with yours 👍🏻🙏🏻
They were never particularly common and I have the feeling they are shown and shared even more rarely these days, so it’s super nice seeing another one. And fully agree with all the additional points you have raised 👌🏻👍🏻
Long time no see - the micro rotor Chopard LUC Sport 2000 🔵🤺
As Patrick raised the topic of micro rotor movements, I went to the safe to bring out the LUC Sport 2000 - my classical specimen from the field. The Cal 4.96 movement is the sporty derivative of the 1.96, with a tad less finishing and a black(ish) tungste...
I agree with all you have said.
In fact this is still one of my favourite watches even though it is far from being the most expensive I own. It really punches way above its cost with an amazing dial, markers and hands plus of course a great micro motor LUC movement seen through the case...

Thanks for sharing your photos, Marc.
The watch looks very nice too with the bracelet. Best, Emmanuel
Too many watches 😂🤷🏻♂️
But will do my best to wear it more. The vibe is different indeed. And while the bezel might be a design element from another era, the majority of the design choices are timeless enough 😊👍🏻
It’s always a pleasure to see this one,
because of its very original identity and design. For me it's the reverse of the Alpine Eagle XPS: not a dressed up sports watch, but a dressed down LUC or a dress watch made sporty. I’m not fond of the seconds hand counterweight, but the mention of LUC i...
I know - you have mentioned that 😊👍🏻
It was a different era and the LUC sunbeams was still on the way to being established, so I kind of appreciate the design choice but also understand that not everyone does 👍🏻
Your feeling is much more reliable than mine as I’ve never seen the watch in real life.
I’m conscious that it might very well be a detail I wouldn’t mind or even like in real life! So I promise that I won’t mention it again next time you give us the pleasure of seeing this watch!
Not at all 👍🏻
We all have different opinions and it does the debate good to voice them. And I am certainly not deterred from using or posting the watch 😊
My opinion is far less reliable than yours because
I’ve never seen the watch in real life. So I should keep in mind that it’s a detail I could very well not mind or even like in real life!
As you say, there's only one way to find out!
Hopefully, someday! 😉 I've also never seen in real life the other members of your LUC family: the Chrono One and the 8HF... 😇 Have a great Sunday! Best, Emmanuel
Its a valid opinion because I felt the same way initially!
I got the white/silver dial version at an excellent price, but after looking at it over time,suddenly everything feels right,especially under sunlight. I definitely need to do justice by changing the after market strap on mine. Its really an every day wat...
Wonderful with the silver dial, too 👌🏻👍🏻
Thanks for joining in and sharing your shots, too 🙏🏻
My absolute pleasure and honour...
I did get much valuable insight from this forum before I purchased the luc sports 2000. I'm glad we have like minded individuals who share their thoughts openly. I appreciate the efforts from likes of Emmanuale amongst others ,who do so much research and ...
A fantastic x.96 Chopard family you have there 👌🏻👍🏻🙌🏻
And a pleasure to have you here 👍🏻
Thank you so much, Rishi, I'm humbled by your comment!
Your LUC duo is wonderful. Great choice to have both the 96 and the 98 movements. And both watches have a very specific charm. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you, Rishi.
This silver dial looks wonderful and your shots are very sharp. It's a model I really have to see in real life someday! Best, Emmanuel
Beautiful watch...
and even more so on the bracelet. I think I'll prefer this to the Alpine Eagle.
Always liked this
for its understated fashion ,yet versatile for many occasions Not seen many on the secondary market
There tend to be some available…
Usually. They also appear to be past the bottom price point but I would still call them very decent value 👌🏻👍🏻
A rare one indeed 😊👍🏻
And like you say, definitely a watch one can wear everyday and for most occasions 🙌🏻
I met a billionaire once who was wearing one so you are in good company...
...he was amazed that I knew the model, movement, etc. : )
