hi, this is my first post and also would like to seek advice from you guys/gals. which do u think is better the jlc mastercompressor (ladies with leather strap)or the chopard happy sport chrono (limited to 3000 pcs/snowflake). i'm sure i would go with the... 

Well, I don't know very much the Chopard, but it seems that you already have the answer to your question. You said it, and perfectly, you're more attracted to the Chopard, and the only issue is the Quartz movement. But in the JLC, it is not 100% mechanica... 

hi nicolas, thanks very much for your input. i actually forgot to mention that the specific jlc watch i'm referring to is the master compressor diving gmt lady. i wonder if this is mecaquartz(i still have to research about what type this is)? id probably ... 

With a MecaQuartz movement, indeed. If you mention the Master Compressor Diving GMT Lady, yes, it is an automatic movement, indeed, and a superb watch, to me, much more attractive than the Chopard. But this one is 39mm, instead of its 38 mm stainless stel...  

that Megali wore the 38mm version..... Cheers

hi nicolas, here are the photos of the watches ive tried. if ever i'm going to get jlc it would be with a leather strap. but i'm still torn between this and chopard. thanks again for your input. mch chrono gmt happy sport...  

Defintely JLC.... to help you out... take a look at this shot... belong to a friend who bought for his missus....simply stunning...and I don't mean just the shot.....  

haha.. i defintely agree that it's a superb shot... unfortunately I do not have the skill to take such a stunning shot... picture was taken by my friend Hary (as you can see from the photo).... on behalf of him... Thank you for the compliment.

wow, i think im sold just by this photo haha. which would stand better to everyday usage, a rubber strap or leather strap? im opting for something white so much use would either turn it to yellowish or blackish???

That is a great photo! Not that the male JLC owners aren't lucky -- we are! But I do sometimes envy the ladies their choices. The ones pictured above for instance, or the Twinkling Diamonds (remember Kong's awesome post on the clandestine meeting to disco... 

I bought my wife a JLC MC Chrono last year for her 40th and she loves loves loves it! In fact she could never really understand my watch obession but she does now. By coincidence I also considered the Chopard (which is a lovely watch), but the right choic... 

hi tom, which strap did you get for your wife? any advice on this? thanks, mch

one is more durable and she would enjoy it more My wife loves hers Cheers

I originally went with the stainless steel bracelet Lady GMT, which she really liked. But when we went to the AD to size it she saw the Chrono with the white articulated rubber and feel in love! So we swapped it out for that watch. She gets mad compliment...
