JLC master compressor vs chopard happy sport chrono
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 chopard if it were not quartz. i like both designs especially the chopard's moving diamonds and snowflake but i think an automatic watch would have more value as years go by and i wouldn't have to worry about battery leakage and such.
any suggestions/recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
mch

Hi, and welcome here, first

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...

Lucky JLC women!

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 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...
