Chopard L.U.C XPS – Poin?on de Gen��ve 125th Anniversary Edition
To celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Poin?on de Gen��ve quality hallmark, Chopard unveils a limited edition of its L.U.C XPS model enhanced with a date window.

The Poin?on de Gen��ve was established in 1886 to ensure a very high level of quality. 2011 marks the 125th anniversary of this Genevan horological institution.

Opinions and advice needed please

However....Whenever I look at wrist shots of the 5167 I love it, and many TRFers over on the Patek forum write how wonderful it is. The few times I have tried it on in Geneva I have not been quite so sure. I have found it to be very light in weight and barely large enough for my tastes. I am also unsure about the numerals.

Just received this today after looking for one on & off for quite a while , I know it's a service replacement dial & the case has had a polish. But for the money paid I'm more than happy with it .I am in the office ,& can't check serial number until I remove the caseback later .

5167a longer wait than 5711
I called my AD (UK)Im about 6 months into a12 month wait for a 5711When it occurred to me- that I do actually like the 5167a and it's ��5000 less - so perhaps it's the path of least resistance both chronologically and financiallyBut they say - it's 2 years waiting time!! I was shockedI'm off to Italy next month -where might be a good place to try ? Anyone know?!
