Chopard L.U.C. Classic Automatic Silver Dial 18 kt Yellow Gold Men's Watch 161907-0001

the IWC engineers decided to stop automatically after precisely 168 hours or seven days
However, to keep the watch as precise as possible in practice, the IWC engineers decided to stop automatically after precisely 168 hours or seven days. As the rest of the gang, the pilot of Big Blue will come in a stainless steel case large enough 46.2 x 15.8 mm. In addition to the shows with an undeniable sense of presence, this brilliantly finished huge steel case also cache a soft extra iron safety cage which greatly increases the anti-magnetic properties of the watch. Of course, his iconic chunky winding diamond-shaped Crown is its usual place ready to dig in the back of your hand.

Four cases worth. . .
I just returned from vacation, based in Las Vegas and did a lot of watch looking.In the Tourneau store in the Forum Shops at Caesar's, I spent quite a bit of time at the Hamilton section. I am happy to say that Hamilton occupies 4 showroom cases with a very nice selection. Pricing? That is another subject.I asked one of the sales persons the REAL price of a watch marked $995. He laughed and said "THAT IS THE PRICE. THE BEST I COULD DO IS DISCOUNT THE TAX (7.5%)". I chuckled.

Just another Newbie
Hi folks, at last I'm a member of the forum.I had a bit of trouble with my comfirmation email,but here I am. I have collected watches now for around 8 years, continualy swapping and selling my collection. I have never stuck with any one brand and not all my watches are expensive. in fact some were down right cheap, but since they have all but disappeared their values have risen.My two latest additions are a Technomarine raft Chronograph 2003 vintage boxed and papered and a Must de cartier gold on Silver manual wind Tank 1982 vintage boxed and papered, both watches in mint condition. I have never photographed or catlogued my watches,which is a terrible admission bearing in mind I am a photographer my trade but I will and post on here as soon as I have time (Busy work schedule) Anyway there we are, glad to be here and I hope I can learn from the the real masters on here.Cheers Brian
