  4. CHOPARD MILLE MIGLIA GRAN TURISMO XL 168997-3001 The Mille Miglia (Thousand Miles) was an open-road endurance race which took place in Italy twenty-four times from 1927 to 1957. Like the older Targa Florio and later the Carrera Panamericana, the MM made Gran Turismo (Grand Touring) sports cars like Alfa Romeo, BMW, Ferrari, Maserati and Porsche famous. http://www.chopard.com/en/classicracing/millemiglia/mille-miglia-gran-turismo-xl-168997-3001.aspx#/en/product/168997-3001/ Details of genuine: Also Called: 168997, 16-8997, 16/8997-3001, 168997R. Series Case Material: Stainless Steel Dial Color: Midnight Black Movement: Automatic C.O.S.C. Engine: Chopard Cal. 7111, 24 jewels, 28,800 vph, 16½ ''' (37mm), base ETA Valgranges A07.111 Functions: Hours, Minutes, Center Seconds, Date Crystal Material: Sapphire - Scratch Resistant Case Diameter: 44.0 mm Case Thickness: 14.25 mm Caseback: Sapphire Crystal Display Back showing guilloche rotor and movement Bezel Material: Stainless Steel Bezel Function: Fixed Mass: 146.0 g Water Resistance: At most 100m (suitable for swimming and shallow snorkeling; unsuitable for diving) Crown Material: Stainless Steel, Screw-locked, 8mm diameter Calendar: Automatic large magnified date at 3 o'clock Power Reserve: 46-hour power reserve Watch Bracelet / Strap Material: Dunlop-tread Rubber Watch Clasp Material: Double-locking foldover Max Wrist Size: 8.5 inches Watch Bracelet Width: 21.5 mm Some Genuines have L.U.C. stamped on them and some do not. Presume L.U.C is used to indicate use of an in house movement and largely unmodified ETA when not. Only the L.U.C movements have CHOPARD in a square on the midpart of the rotor. GENUINE http://watchesdb.com/inf/6537-chopard_mille_miglia_xl_gran_turismo_stainless_steel_black_dial_ref168997___3001.html Notiice this gen caseback woth 50 meters and no LUC My REPLICA Origin: This came originally from andrew but I bought it from a forum member Specifications from dealer CP10008 Gran Tourismo XL SS Black Asia Eta Valgranes A07.111 Superb lumed, Asian Valgranges A07.111, Automatic, 28.000bph Black BIG Date wheel-Correct Magnification, Diameter 44mm X 15mm thk AR coated, water resistant, Fragrant impregnated rubber Conclusions: 1. Very similar fell and look to the genuine in all aspects but some details on the movement 2. Centre of rotor is different on replica (asian bearing on rotor is easy for an expert to spot)and also the regulator differ in the way all asian "7750" clones do. Genuine has inscriptions such as serial number on main plate of movement. 3. Movement is correct size diametre as it is the Asia Valgranges A07.111 copy that is suprisingly similar to the genuine valgrange ETA in many aspects 4. Lume is impressive for a replica (sorry no picture) 5. AR is sufficient 6. Crown has the correct writing of 1000 miglia but is less clear than on the genuine 7. The replica is copying an early version of the genuine as the caseback does not say L.U.C. and is water resistant to 50m and writing on rotor differ on the L.U.C. version (but this difference can be seen on genuines casebacks also so its a bit confusing) Final: This is an extremely beautiful and yet uncomplicated watch that can be worn anytime and anywhere. The large size gives it presence. A very good replica that will be difficult to spot by most watch owners. Other people have also made more detailed reviews of this replica and versions of it: http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/chopard-gtxl-full-review-plus-23994.html?t=23994&highlight=GTXL%20full%20review%20compro taiji review of this watch and its versions on RWI is excellent
  5. Do Andei3000s at the other RWG have the best Assastar ever? NB! and yes that is likely graman on that ass....
  6. 1. The movement is an Venus 175 (not Lemania)and is one of the most reliable movements 2. They are replicas yes and obviously far from the genuine thing..(movements are very different for a start)..but you can simply look at the pictures and compare directly with the genuine yourself (silly noob)
  7. rwgforumfan what a name for a Noob Customs: You might have problems if your suitcase is filled with watches (and replicas)...1-2 watches no problem Resale: This is possible yes
  8. .......20k is not a problem.....100k and up, now that takes some real denial....
  9. MiniReview Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono Product Details on Genuine Watch Item number: 16/8459-3001R Brand Name: Chopard Style Number: 16.8459R Also Called: 168459-3001R Series: Mille Miglia GT XL Chronograph Style (Gender): Mens Case Material: Stainless Steel Dial Color: Black, two-level Movement: Automatic C.O.S.C.

Conclusions: 1. There are many versions of this watch so be careful 2. At least three different true chronograph movements are found in these. 1. Asian 7750 (slower beat), 2. swiss 7750 (very expensive)28,800bph and 3. Asian a07.211 (my favorite)28,800bph 3. Only the a07.211 movement is the correct size (linge) for this watch A. The one I have: At perfect clones/Joshua The Asian version is about $418 = CP02002 Mile Miglia GTXXL Chrono SS Black A07.211 Reg 28800 (Best version I have seen with my own eyes, but markings on rotor is sticker and not engraved) Description by dealer: This is made with a Genuine as sample MOVEMENT: Asian 07.211 28,8800bph with functional regulator CASE DIAMETER: 44mm THICKNESS: 14.2mm DIAL COLOR: Black Dial with Stick Markers (Red Needle Sec Hand) CASE MATERIAL: Solid Stainless Steel 316L BRACELET: Resilient Rubber Strap with Deployant Clasp FRONT GLASS: Superb AR Coated Sapphire Glass (Swiss Gen standards) BACK GLASS: Display Case Back with detailed engraving on caseback rim BEZEL: Tachymetered bezel HACK MOVEMENT: Yes CLASP TYPE: Deployant Folding Buckle with insignia DATE INDICATOR: At 3:00 position WaterProofed to 30m DateWheel is directly mounted All parts are 1:1 exchangeable with Genuine Full functional Chronograph B. SWISS 7750 Version is about $800 at perfect clones/Joshua= CP02102 Mile Miglia GTXXL Chrono SS Black Swiss 7750 28800 (I have not inspected this version) C. Asian 7750 Version (I have seen with my own eyes) but the crystal (curved?) and other parts are not so nice. No AR. But the more accurate rotor is to be found on some of these (= engraved rotor ) 4. Genuine has no blued screws om movement 5. Watch is very similar to the genuine (save the differences seen on movement such as engraved serial number) 6. The better versions of this replica works, looks and feels like the genuine 7. Rubber strap and metal clasp are pretty much as good as on the genuine 8. Movement of the seconds hand for the chrono function is likley smoother on the genuine one 9. Lume is often hopeless on the replica 10.AR is very well applied on some replica versions (= the more expensive ones) 11. Warning stay away from the quartz and non functional chrono versions, be careful to get the correct crystal with AR Conclusion: This is my favorite looking CHOPARD. Well balanced dial, smooth bezel is a pluss and the colours (Black with some white and even less red bathed in polished steel) are just right.

  10. Well at least its an Norwegian watch Fred. Olsen & Co. - norsk skipsrederi, startet i 1848 av Fredrik Christian Olsen, den eldste av tre brødre fra Hvitsten i Vestby kommune. Dagens selskap er et konglomerat med interesser i en rekke land, og eier blant annet klokkefabrikken Timex.
  11. Nautilus ...because size matters...besides its the best looking 80s watch ever made (but I bet Nanug may claim he has a better suggestion)
  12. So is he picky about the price or just wants the best possible quality?
  13. The ultimate OMEGA 45mm Chrono replica looks and feels great but there are serious issues with the movement modification and the deep date. How many have had problems with this modified movement (to get the correct subdial spacing) I wonder.....
  14. De fleste urmakere kan fikse en ETA replika. Jeg har ingen urmaker å anbefale her i Norge. Jeg sender mine ur til Domenico i Tyskland for service etc se denne link:
