Hi All,
As always I turn to all of you very well informed and opinionated watch enthusiasts. I would love to hear everyones opinion on these pieces, which they like better, why, and anything else you would like to add about each. No parameters here, or specific questions, just whatever you feel like adding about each watch. Also, if anyone has some pictures or wrist shots they would like to add, please feel free. Look forward to everyones posts!
Godspeed,

Chrono One Wrist Shot
I tried the Chrono One on my wrist today for the first time. In person, it's much more striking than I've seen in photographs. This message has been edited by GregE on 2008-03-02 21:07:47...
What a lovely "looker" but.......
Hey Greg! So you finally...finally.....got one. Its a great looker "on the wrist" and the chronograph function and action is one of the best....can you confirm? Alas, I could not read the chronograph counters as my eyes are always drawn to the date disk a...

Take a look at the Hong Kong WPP dinner...
and a few further thoughts on the "pre-series hand assembled" nature of the Chrono One - MTF, are you sure Chopard uses the term "pre-series?" This has very specific, very important definitions in the industry, not much different than "prototype" In fact,...
Thank you all...
...for your excellent insight. It is obvious to me that both watches are fabulous pieces and ones worthy of having in any collection. Im going to the Chopard boutique in NYC this weekend to try BOTH on at the same time! I never thought these two pieces wo...
