I put a deposit down on this in May. I contacted the dealer in August and I was told this would not be released until Q4 2024. I'm seeing them on Chrono24 now. Do they do a staggered release? They are now appearing in other countries besides the US.
Thanks for the review! When you say the Czapek Antarctique has the best caseback, what do you mean exactly? The movement aesthetics or literally the caseback? As I'm choosing between the two models now,I'd really appreciate your thoughts
i have a alpine eagle 36mm in rose gold and i love it. very well made. the xps is a buy when they release new dial color. but i weared in in person already and the flat case is awesome =)
@@watchesinsingaporesorry, but do you mean better in quality , details, polishing or aesthetically speaking? Cuz I do love the XPS swan neck regulator
“A solid micro rotor movement”? Haha. Do you not investigate anything prior to making a video like this? The movement in this reference is legendary. And Michel Parmigiani was instrumental in its development ironically- since you compared to the Tonda.
I would personally pick the Alpine Eagle 8HF over this version. The 8HF's dial is just a bit more casual, this salmon dial is a bit sparkly for my taste.
The funny thing is I wanted to like the 8HF… however, the titanium felt really light. Almost to the point of not being a solid feel. The wearability of the XPs is simply outstanding
First review for this salmon dial watch that I can find on RUclips, thank you for your exceptional video!
Great video! I'm still hunting for one to see irl

No idea what's going on but I've heard a lot of collectors are unhappy. 4Q24 is ridiculous though. They should pay you interest on your deposit

Aesthetics. We have an Antarctique in stock at a great price, so I'll make a video about it soon
It's one of my favorite sports watches, but I like the LUC 1860 even more.

I wonder what's the build quality if compared to Parmigiana Tonda PF?
PF maybe slightly better since they tend to use platinum bezels. Otherwise very similar. XPS has better movement for sure though.
@@watchesinsingapore I would have thought the Tonda PF micro rotor is similar to XPS 🤔 maybe I am very wrong 😂
@@rodericklao6509 I looked at the 2 side-by-side again earlier this week and the XPS is noticeably better
@@watchesinsingapore I see, thank you ! I would love to see both watches side by side, saw both of them today but at different places 😔

LUC is fabulously understated as a brand. High horology. Not owned by a Will Smith ghetto type you’ll find.
They do a lot of great stuff. Very underrated
Do you mean black people ?

Did you buy it? Ir just borrowed it for a review?
Fantastic watch

I have had both the 8hf and the XPs on me wrist and it’s not even close. The XPs is at a different level

I think I can see the geneva seal!
ITS MUCH SLEEKER THAN THE STANDARD CASE
