funny I've got one of the Chopards but it doesn't have a lot of presence on the wrist. Titanium maybe takes away from the feel. It's also like 40mm or a little smaller I would guess so it's not as big as I like right now. Watch is cool though. I've got the rubber tire strap on mine.

I'm not a Rolex guy so I can't answer you there. I will say I like the nylon strap way more than bracelets on them. black face black nylon looks good.

Yeah, I know you aren't a Rolex guy, but figured you had a Chopard. I know that Dana has one, and I prefer the brushed look of Titanium to polished steel any day.

I am a rolex guy and would choose the Chopard. It is one of my favorite Chrono's- especially in the brushed titanium.

I'd get the Rolex. Oh wait

EDIT: Seriously though, I've tried on that particular series of Chopard watches and didn't really like them. They wear a lot smaller than they actually are. The Mille Miglia with power reserve or the LE chrono with the gray dial are much better, albeit more expensive, choices.

You did get the Rolex from me? I will have yours in hand to give to you at the meet. I am looking into other ones.

I like the Ti look as well. I really think they wear smaller because of how light they are. They don't look bad on at all and I do like the watch. I just tend to wear it a lot less than most others that have more presence on my wrist.

That's why I will mostly wear the Deep Sea. I just need something that will actually fit under the sleeves of a button down shirt, because the Deep Sea sure won't.

why do you have a lot of job interviews to go on? That black nylon strap on the one you posted down plays the fact it says Rolex on it a lot. That's a nice plus.

Yes, very true. No, very few job interviews to go on, but I do like to wear the occasional button down, and I don't want to look like a schmuck because my watch won't fit under the sleeve. I have to agree with you about the Rolex with the nylon strap.
