The Chopard L.U.C XP Tonneau displays hours, minutes, small seconds and date indicated by a window at 06.All these functions are governed by the ultralight, selfwinding L.U.C. caliber 3.97. Entirely designed, developed, refined and produced in-house, this movement is a simple 3.30 mm thick - a technical detail that integrates a centered micro-rotor off and a double barrel (based on the patented technology of Chopard Twins) provides a 65-hour power reserve.

Over what distance do you buy?
None of us pays MSRP. Why would we? Some are lucky enough to be close to ADs which are, shall we say, consumer-friendly. I was wondering therefore how we buy our watches. Do we source out of state, over some distance, walk into an AD or whatever?OK pals, let's vote since it's the year for it and in time-honoured WTF and OMEGALand traditionTALKThe poll is set up for multiple options pals so you can tick more than one box Y'all have a nice Friday nowZIN

Thank you, Micah!
I was one of the lucky winners of a strap give-away at a Panerai GTG last month. Thank you, Micah, for making such a terrific strap!I can't believe that I'm so close to two of the finest strap makers for PAMs. Micah is an hour from me, and Greg Stevens only 20 minutes. What luck!

Antiques Roadshow Tiffany Dialed Original Pepsi GMT
Sorry for lousy pictures - shot it off my TV while watching the show just now. Season22/Episode9. Saw this and thought the story was unbelievable. Guy takes this off his wrist at the show - gifted by his uncle in 1975 - over 40 years ago. Guy never knew about Rolex but wore it almost daily since then. His wrist gives good evidence...2 years ago the Rolex dealer told him if he serviced it, they would replace the dial So he went to an indy for service. It is from 1963-64 per s/n - early gilt underline dial per the appraiser, Peter Planes, from Royce Estate Buyers in Palm Beach, FL. Would be worth $10-12K if he had it serviced by Rolex with replaced dial and bezel insert. But in this current untouched original condition, worth $50K retail as long as he doesn¡¯t touch it. And if the dial had not oxidized so much and was perfect it would have fetched upwards of $100K¡°Good Grief¡± said the guy. I think the indy watchmaker may have replaced the date wheel because it is so white. Just sharing

Rolex - sacrificing one market for the sake of another?
We first saw it with the SkyDweller, a piece that people thought would never be introduced in SS, yet a few years later, here we are. Today, a SS Pepsi that looks EXACTLY like the PM BLRO (source yourself an Oyster bracelet, and you've got a 1:1 copy).No doubt, this alienates the PM crowd and would push them towards other (PP, AP) brands. I get that the SS customers must be ecstatic, but what about all the former PM customers?This is coming from a SS customer interested in my first PM piece...it makes me second guess going after the DayDate, as they'll probably release one in SS soon enough.
