Bravo Chris, That is another keeper. Probably one of the best design ever. Thanks for sharing these nice photos. Enjoy! Stephane

Wow, that is a great collection in a lovely nest Cheers Stephane

...or is it just me missing admin? . . . . . . . . . Good luck Admin

oh, well he was still looking young to me

Same for me. I have been warned prior the GTG about nicknames starting with Sla...but couldn't spot anything wrong

I wasn't thinking about alternative life styles... ......forget it, my english is too poor to play the game

Who else is wearing watches ? sorry

Chopard 1000 Miglia GtXl Dear All, At the Brussels GTG of last February I finally saw some watches I was thinking to add to my collection. Among a lot of other beauties of course This one was among the ones I wanted one day or another. Contacting Cronsell Chris posted saying he would probably sell this baby, so I sent him a mail. He replied in detail about the issues and said he would add a Bob carbon in the deal + polish it the watch! That is what he did indeed! Of course that was an offer I couldn't refuse. Today 1000 Miglia arrived and here are some pics and comments for you. How is this watch? I'll point what is negative only here. Makes more sence as am not used to Chopard anwyay. I will also not compare this to the gen. Saying how much I love the design of the dial and the band would not really add information to RWG, would it? I'm the third owner as Chris got it from another person who bought it from Andrew (Trusty). It is currently sold by Andrew for 328$ and features an Asian 7750. Looks like a slow one to me, but I might be wrong and probably am. The second hand looks not as smooth as my other A7750 though. One thing is obvious: the hour indices are not perfectly clean and the 6 is even dirty (you will see that in detail in the lume shots). The manufacturers are not getting better these days in QC The case back. It's a pity they couldn't make the print on the rotor readable, what's the point then . The date is indeed too high in the date window. It can be fixed manually. The crown is correctly printed (no spelling errors). It's working perfectly too, no worries to screw it down. It's fine as long you are not rude I guess. The bracelet is very nice and doesn't seem to attract the dust. I love that tyre design. Makes me think at my P6000 on my Alfa The deployant buckle is working fine too and is quite nice looking in my opinion. The mechanism is perfect. Easy to open, and to close. I will change the springbars though. They look very fragile and too short to me. I could remove the bracelet with two fingers. One thing is a big surprise: the lume. It does the same thing than my gens or my Ziggyfied 196. When walking in the shade, I can see the lume start to glow instantly although it wasn't charged before. I took two pics that are NOT photoshoped at all, no contrast either of course. It doesn't illustrate what I try to explain, but well it's a nicely lumed watch. This one is in full auto mode: This one is with a longer pose time: Conclusion This watch is not a super rep but a well finished one and deserve a place in a collection. If you don't have it, I'm sure you can find members willing to part with it at a good price. I'm not sure if it is accurate but I personally don't really care for such brands. I would not have paid 328 + shipping for it anyway and certainly not the gen price Is it a keeper? We'll see, but at a reasonable price, it is a great watch so why would I want to sell it later? At the moment I like to look at it on my wrist I would like to thank Chris once again for the smooth deal and for being such a nice person. He really did everything possible to make me happy and I say it "I'm happy". Man, you are definitely one other RWG gentleman Thanks for looking. Cheers Stephane

ah ah, you see... Thanks Ubi But seconds @ 12

We want thin cases! We want thin cases! We want thin cases! We want thin cases! ...god, it's going to be fun to hunt Well done Ubi. Can't wait to see this one done. But ...what mvt are you going to put in this one ?

Well, as suspected, somebody knocked on the door this afternoon. The postman of course, not the watch

Each time I see another 1665 on here, I'm happy for it's owner. And I must say that this one is quite a nice specimen. Congrats Cib0 and Ziggy of course

Started the friday with RepAustria's GMT Matser II. But might change as a new baby might knock on the door today

Wow, I will move close to your place Laz Here it would have lost a couple of minutes Anyway, isn't the goal of the traveller to test the feeling more than the time accurancy ? Oh, of course, it's a seconds @ 6 which is also a thing to test but it's still runing so far after 16 months Enjoy Laz, as long as you wish. Cheers Stephane PS forgot to mention: tr

It was GolfMan
