I'm a flipper as well. And the white 16570 was one of the watches I regret flipping. It's very underrated, but I like the no-nonsense character of the watch.

I loved the Chopard as soon as i saw it, and i bought it when i was thinking about broadening the makes of watches i had. Ive loved owning and wearing it, but ive been pulled back to rolex so strongly, and i was offered a really good deal to change.

The Exp2 is so so comfortable on the wrist. And one thing i will say about the Exp 2 - pics simply dont do it justice. They are so much nicer in the metal. Its not, in my opinion a very photogenic watch, but my god it looks lovely on the wrist.... i likey alot!!!
