Ugh. Somehow 'subdials' autocorrected to 'sundials'! Sorry. [nt]

New shoes for my Chopard LUC Chrono One
I have been looking for some alternative straps for my LUC Chrono One for a while now and have decided to go with Chopard itself for a start. While the choice is not as wide as with dedicated strap makers, the support from the Vienna Boutique in finding s...
Looks well matched from the photos
The grey goes well with the dial and enhances the subdials, IMO. Looking good!
Thanks Richard!
I find it works quite well, too I have been trying to get into gear when it comes to straps and now the starting shot has been made
With all those circles on the dial, perhaps Ostrich leather would be a good match?
The chronograph counters and running seconds subdial remind me of circular patterns on ostrich leather. Perhaps that is easier to find than pterodactyl straps? Regards, MTF
Need to check that out...
Do not recall seeing any otrich options from Chopard but it is easy to check, of course. Btw. when talking of pterodactyl, this is code between Padj and me for chicken leg - the bird being a semi-direct descendant from its fiercer ancestor And at least on...
I've seen a tan coloured ostrich leather strap
It was 26x18mm widths in the old style with finished outer surface. I expect other colours would have been made. The new leather straps have finished inner and outer surfaces. Regards, MTF
26/18?
That\'s a very odd size... The Chrono One is 22/18 but if they do it in one size, they will certainly do others, too Do you remember what watch that was?
Bad memory or typographic error?
Come to think of it, that was an odd size. Chalk it up to fuzzy memory. After all, according to Croatian definitions, I fall in the "older generation" category! I thought it was a regular looking gent's Chopard watch about 42mm diameter so maybe the lug w...
22 is common for Chopard in that range...
21 for GPMH IIRC and 20 for most MMs. Picking up the other strap (for the 2014 Race Edition Mille Miglia) tomorrow - looking forward to it
I like how it picks up the minutes and seconds sundials.
It\'s a nice change of pace. Well done!
No worries :)
My brain is suitably conditioned that it read subdials irrespective of what was there
