The other strong candidate is GP Laureato in 38 mm
I have not had chance to try it. There is not a dealer here, so might have to wait for opportunity to fly abroad. The 38 mm should be the sweet spot, perfect size for my medium wrist. The price is about the same with 36 mm alpine eagle. GP has more pedigree on the movement than Chopard. But Chopard win in the steel material.
For you who are considering Chopard Alpine Eagle...
Just came back from my AD to try them. They are pretty difficult to get. I tried both size, 36 and 41 mm. First and Second pictures : The 41 mm is too large for me, especially the lug to lug which is about 52 mm. Although the dial size itself is OK becaus...
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I was at there boutique a few weeks ago , trying the new chrono . This watch is just to big and bulky imho . Love the way it looks but still mixed feelings , also tried the 41 and 36 the 36 looks perfect but also to small for my taste, the 41 is much bett...
So much potential but not playing the wrong game...
Feel that if they had tried a little less to conform to NautiliOak design territory they may have had something on this. Any Brand that offers me 15% on the RRP... I will just walk out. Most brilliant way to devalue your Brand and undermine the value prop...
The smaller version is a winner,
love also the fact that it has no date window. George
I think they should do 38 mm instead of 36 mm. Would be a perfect mid-size, considering the wide bezel.
The difference between 41 and 36 is too distant, IMHO
This eagle 🦅 is a worthwhile pickup!
Both are fine but really up to you on which size you feel more comfortable with. Good luck and let us know your decision.

I am not considering it. But the brand is a specific one. Typical for enthusiasts than for the traders who want to invest. Chopard i think you buy for keep it your whole life. The L.U.C. watches are interesting for me, cause of the dressier way. We’ll see...

GP were are you?
Here the same, no GP AD. Chopard have some AD’s here. So i keep on buying watches which are available in my country. Zenith, Longines, Rolex, AP, etc etc.
Interesting about the clasp
Mine (I have the blue dial in the larger size) works fine - actually it feels quite nice. My wife has the smaller one in blue too, and every time she wears it I just can’t stop staring at that dial. The steel is definitely harder and brighter than regular...
Theoretically it is available in the ‘wild’ of ADs
...but so far I’ve only seen it in *one* AD. Now I don’t exactly hang out with dealers these days...dealers of any sort, let me be clear! ...but there are three Chopard ADs in the complex where my office is located, as well as a boutique, and only the bou...
To be clear, the eagles I have tried, came fropm a Chopard boutique in our capital city, which lend the pieces to my AD (I live in other province) so I can try them
So yes, until now, it has been almost 2 years since the Alpine launched, only boutiques have them
