Chopard's limited edition Mille Miglia

What do you guys think of this?






Here are the specs:
Stainless steel case. Black dial. Black rubber strap with white stitching. Automatic C.O.S.C. ETA movement. Chronograph. Date displays at 3 o'clock position. Subsidiary seconds. Second time zone. Tachymeter. Sapphire crystal. Transparent screw-down display back. Stainless steel bezel with 24 hour markers. 48 hour power reserve.

I saw it at the AD last week and it's big (like 42mm or so) and thick like a panny. Lots of presence. List was CDN$5,600 and the dude offered me 30% off without batting an eye. I saw it online for US$3,000.

Not bad, busy dial, but the main functions easy to read.
Looks like a lot of watch for a good price...

Hey Johnny,

I think that's a fine looking watch, but that pic is not doing it any justice. Think you could come up with a better and bigger image? Might be able to judge better then. I like the hands...easy to read. What's that small red thingy just on the left of the date window?

Seems to be a great looking watch....just need to see a clearer picture.

Thanks - JJ

Hey for what you paid for the pic, you're doing pretty well. That red 'thingy' is a little flag that says 'Mille Miglia' on it.

I think those look fine, but they're just generic chronographs built around the same old ETA ébauche. Technically indistinguishable from a gazillion others. Of all the clones Chopard has sold, my favorite is the one with the contrasting subdials (which Shane had).

Chopard makes some beautiful movements. I wish they'd make their own chronograph so that these models wouldn't be interchangeable with Tag/Breitling/Gucci dreck.

I don't know I do like chronographs but that one just isn't doing it for me

I think the watch is quite a looker, CJ....that pic is crappy!

I'm not big on chronos either but I really like this one. It's great on the wrist and it has a GMT complication.

I think the pic displays the general detail and style of the watch. I just don't like the esthetic's is all (MHO).

I really like that watch.

I think it has alot going on, and that is what I like about it. I am not a movement guy, obviously, I wear Pannies. But I care more about if the watch looks good to me, that one does.

I like it. I think it's a nice looking watch. Plus as Johnny ststed it has a 24 hr function.
