Dear PuristSPro, a couple of weeks ago, I turned from an passive follower of this community into a more active contributor. Joining in the wide-ranging topic of wrist watches that gave me so much joy since it sparked my enthusiasm around one year ago. Com...  

What a post! HUGE congrats on the watch, and HUGE thank you for the detailed review.

Kolosstt, your enthusiasm for the watch is undeniable. Seems like you've given it some detailed study, and the photographs are great. For may of the reasons you enumerated, I too am enamored by the Superfast Chrono, both dial and movement side. It is a su... 

It really feels, looks and sounds like quality!

Thank you CaliforniaJed for your kind words. Out of the number of senses that could apply to watches, they all give you the comfort of quality work (I leave smelling and tasting out of it ;) ). For me this watch model is what I can identify with. Sure, my... 

First class post!

kolosstt, Thank you for the Owner's Review of the Chopard Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition. The 8 allen screws fixing the bezel are steel with black DLC covering. I don't know if Mark Webber now has a Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition. Certainly, w...  

If he doesn't have one - he should get one.

Hello MTF, a lucky occasion to witness Porsche's return to Le Mans. Thinking back in time, it is a long history since for example Jacky Ickx was driving in a Porsche around that course. So, Porsche and Le Mans are a piece of history and even though it has...  

Currently only Superfast Chrono Porsche 919 Edition has silver opaline dial

So you may have spotted one on Webber's wrist..... ;) On the other hand (literally), it may be a prototype of the next Superfast? hehehe. Regards, MTF

For some reason I might believe that somebody..

May I ask you and the rest of the readers, which one of the photos was your favourite and with which one you see potential for improvement? Although I have to admit that it was a bit time consuming, I enjoyed taking pictures, writing down some of my thoug... 

Hi Kolosstt

Sorry I missed your post earlier To be honest, I like almost all your photos! I am not into crisp or technically well taken photos. I like how you share your watch spontaneously with passion! cheers Robin

Excellent Friday :)

I'm pretty sure it's my picture and that there was a watermark... Cheers, Kolosstt

Let us know what you think of the watch's making, and maybe you can post a pic once you have the signature on the box. Cheers, kolosstt

My post no 616 - of course with the 919

It's more than a year with me and I discovered a nice feature. Believe it or not, my watch run out of juice recently and it stopped as anybody would expect it to happen with any watch. What I didn't expect is the in-built ## Stop-@-Hands-Nice-4-Full-Dial-...  

HeHeHe LOL (nt)
