scorpion 0 Posted July 21, 2012 Got to love a hard chopper sorry Chopard! This is a lovely looking one Del, not seen it with that colour dial before. Strap looks same as on my XL power reserve, how you getting on with it? Mine can be a pain, its a two part thing and the smaller part sometimes pops open before i have engaged the main part, I think its a bit loose and might try bending it a touch to make it lock on tighter. Once its on it stays tight and I still like the Dunlop tread and would not replace it with a leather one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Del 4,463 Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks guys! @ Scorpion - my strap and deployant are perfect mate, Locks in positively and opens with the side push buttons first time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaykay 0 Posted July 21, 2012 Del, you bloody show off! Lovely pics and a stunning watch. Let me know if you want to get rid of it Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted July 21, 2012 Love this watch!! Congrats Steal at the price you got it for. Ok, Del, since you own a lot of watches, tell me where this watch ranks in terms of comfort on your wrist? I have a cheapie 21j or 23j PR version and i have to say, its by far the most, if not one of the most comfortable watches one can wear given its size. Even the rubber is pretty soft and smells like vanilla on mine almost 2 yrs later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UmpaHimself 222 Posted July 21, 2012 At first I really didn't like this watch but the more you show it off the more I'm coming around Del. I really like the sub set date magnification. I don't know how I feel about the tire tread and I would really love to see this watch on some Croc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even the deployant fits very well and doesn't irritate me like others do. Compared with other watches it is certainly more comfortable than the big Breits on bracelet (Wolf, Skyland, etc,) but is very similar I think to the SOHv2 on the Ocean Racer rubber (another very comfortable strap). The PAMs on leather and the APs on hornback are somewhere in between I suppose! At first I really didn't like this watch but the more you show it off the more I'm coming around Del. I really like the sub set date magnification. I don't know how I feel about the tire tread and I would really love to see this watch on some Croc. By this time next week you'll have ordered one......

UmpaHimself 222 Posted July 21, 2012 By this time next week you'll have ordered one...... NO! Must resist. I keep telling myself, stick to the list. PAM390 DLC & the Tudor chrono quartz are up next after the Milgauss from Rochest that should be coming next week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted July 21, 2012 Del, i have the same issue as Scorpion, but it was almost 1.5 yrs later. It pops out once in a while from the first clasp but doesn't totally undo itself. Its manageable. Worst case, i will get leather on it Wear it well sir. Just love the color of the dial. Wish Chopard would make more models. Actually, i take that back. ha.

Croc looks so much better....................on a crocodile!!!!! Still out in the US I suppose they are not a rare creature, we only have them in a zoo here.
