I will repeat once again that I truly love this watch

The steel links are chunky and feel great. The center link is polished while the outer links are sort of brushed. Basically the whole watch is polished, but to add visual interest, Chopard gave certain areas of the watch a more intense level of polish -Â if that makes sense. The only problem with the bracelet is sizing. You don't have a lot of micro-adjustment options. It happens to fit well on me, but you could find it is either a bit too small or too large (that is where a strap comes in handy). The bracelet has a more or less hidden clasp to look flush and clean on the bottom. For me the best part of the design is the dial. The bezel has a tachometer that looks cool, but I will never use it. The dial is a deep semi-glossy black with large applied polished steel hour indicators. For dial orientation, the 12 o'clock marker is a bit larger than the rest of them. The watch hands are large and perfectly sized. They also match the design of the hour markers which is nice. There is an extremely good level of contrast on the dial making it very easy to read, and the hand and hour markers are generously coated with SuperLumiNova. Along with the "Monaco Historique" text on the dial, the large seconds hand is in orange and adds just the right amount of sporty color to the dial. Chopard Pretty much covered all the bases with the design. To switch to the various modes in the LCD screen you spin the crown. Not just casually, but you need to give it a little jerky spin in order to have it switch modes. This is done in order to prevent you from accidentally switching screens. Once you learn the basics of how to operate the functions it is pretty easy, but I recommend studying the manual a bit. It is overall a pretty user friendly experience. To activate the backlight, you just press in the crown.
