Chopard

I received my Pro One orange a couple of days ago.  So far so good.  It is unlike any other watch I own and I am enjoying it. 

I expect that I am one of the few, if not the only, female who ows this model but if there are any others of you on this forum I am interested to hear your comments.

Carol

Please do share some pictures when you have the chance.  Thanks!

Cheers,
Anthony

I could share some photos, but I am hopeless when it comes to cameras and computers.  I don't have the right camera or the needed photographic skills to produce the photos I would want, and these handicaps don't even come close to the problems I would have in uploading the photos into the computer.  Perhaps in the future I will be able to find a way to produce some photos that I can post  !!!! 

Hello Carol!

Congrats on your Pro One!  Excellent choice.  What other watches do you have or compared to when selecting the Chopard?  Care to share some pics of your new watch? 

Wear it in the best of health!

purchase.  I saw it on a Saturday at a local AD, thought about it over the weekend, several days later I had a telephone conversation with a member of the sales staff at Chopard in Manhattan where I made the purchase...... and the rest is history.  I guess I was in the mood for something "sporty" and this piece really appealed to me.  I don't have anything like it....my other watches are poles apart.....Jaquet Droz, Roger Dubuis, Panerai, JLC, etc. etc.  This is my first Chopard....it might not be the last.  

As for photos, I explained my limitations in this area in my reply to Anthony and I don't think I have words adequate to explain how bad I am.  I'll leave the photography to others.

Don't worry about camera skills.  I got a Nikon SLR last year for Christmas and didn't know anything about photography.....It's been a year later and I still don't know what I'm doing!    I just shoot and post on ThePuristS photo forum ( www.network54.com ) and ask for critiques on how to improve and get inspiration form others.  It's fun and easy to do so go ahead and shoot some pics and join in on the fun!

Yeah, the Chopards that are out have been very impressive so I can see how you will be addicted!  I'm glad you got a lot of help and info on the PuristSPro forum and hope you do a nice review on yours one day.

Congratulations Carol. I'm glad to see you become a Chopard owner! You will love the watch, it is very special.

this piece.  Thank you for your words of encouragement.

Carol

Your new Chopard is a very nice watch.  I don't own one, but have handled it, and certainly thought it was a fine piece.  I'm happy to see another Lady Purist who isn't afraid to wear a 42mm sports watch.  I personally love dive watches, and I like to see a confident, self-assured woman wearing one.

Enjoy your watch, and please do think about posting pictures at some point down the road.  I was afraid to post pictures to the site for a long time because I'm not a good photographer at all, but even I manage to post a photo or two now and then.  Everyone on the forum has been very kind and supportive of my meager efforts, so I encourage you to enter the arena as well!  Audentes fortuna iuvat!

Cheers,

purchase is the end result.   Although I live in New England, only minutes from the ocean, I will never use the watch for this purpose because I don't spend anytime on or in the water.  For me, watches are more about form than function.  I am not too interested in what's under the hood.  I tend to  focus on design elements, finishing, etc.  

I have wanted to up-grade my camera and my photography skills for a while now.  I just haven't found the time for it... perhaps in the near future.

I am glad a Lady is wearing a sporty L.U.C.

Did you get with a bracelet or straps?

Kong

ordered one with white stitching.  The strap that came on the watch is of excellent quality and it has a sharkskin lining which is quite nice.   I am a fan of fine leather goods.  I didn't go for the metal bracelet  due to sizing considerations.

Thanks for the information you provided to assist in my decison-making.

Carol

as if you ever wish to have a bracelet later, I would suggest you quickly speak to the AD to switch to the bracelet option and buy the leather straps separately.

Reason is if to buy the bracelet later on, it will cost a lot more than buying with the bracelet option.

The Orange colour is just nice.  Hope you enjoy wearing the L.U.C.

Once you have a chance to grab some pics later on, please show us a few

Thanks.

I am all for impulse purchases, and I have a weak spot for orange on dive watches.   Enjoy!  

I am no longer working downtown (or anywhere right now, for that matter), but perhaps we can always meet for a drink or a coffee.   if you bring the watch I'll bring a camera and snap a few pictures.    I ordered a non traditional strap for my Zenith Prime, and  when it comes in I hope to get an opinion from a woman of taste in these matters just in case I have taken leave of my senses.

G.

have it let me know and we can plan to get together.

The Pro One orange is one of the nicest diver watches on the market.

It has the "bit special" that distinguishes it from other watches, still being very

versatile and wearable.

Best regards,

Gerard

Do you own a Chopard or a diving watch?  If so, which one(s)?

Carol

Yes, I own the Chopard Luc Twist in white gold. As for diver watches, I have the Ulysse Nardin Blue Surf,Sinn U1 SDR and Omega SMP.

Gerard
