thomasng Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 http://perfect-clones.com/1335-p-2365.html Josh is officially first to have it!!!!!!! But, the watch to me falls way below expectations. First, the datewheel colour is completely wrong. Second, the buckle's lettering should not be coloured black! Thirdly, the crown doesn't look very sharp and well finished. And finally, it's using an Asian 21J movement! Otherwise, date mag is qute good, and the dial looks promising too. This piece will be a lot lighter on our wallets than if it used an Asian 7750, that's for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I wouldn't say it is officially out. Andrew and Angus had it on their site as an upcoming item for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retep Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Josh site seems to be getting slower and slower, or is it me? @djtimodj There is only one PT and that is precioustime, puretime is also known as Angus. (just so nobody get`s confused) I really was looking forward to the chopard but now i don`t know anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mystix Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I would think there is a better version with an ETA version coming out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finepics Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 From that description it is definitely not the one Angus was showing the prototypes of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 This is typical - they're floating the cheaper version of the watch to test the market, then they will trot out the higher end one. That's what they did with the AP Wempe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finepics Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 From what I can tell the protoype shown was fitted with an asian 7750 without the chrono features (which is similar to the gen Chopard ETA Valgranges movt) so this must definitely be a lower grade model. Angus told me that the one we want is coming sometime later in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wan Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I went back and looked at the pics, and they did not compare....see for yourself. http://www.replicacollector.com/members/in...showtopic=27066 , as you can see many diffrences..........Cheers, Wan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highflyingclive Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Joshua showed me a prototype last October. I didn't give it a detailed inspection because it isn't a watch that appeals to me. Just personal taste. But (for me) the outstanding feature was the cyclops. It really works! I'm hoping that this will, in time, trickle down to our Pams... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWR Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 i think this model has been out for a while; and is the 'earlier' model referred to by angus in his postings on TRC... the one he showed was quite obviously better for the reasons stated by others...

elprimerozen Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Here you can see tha new line of swiss eta movements...which in angus post of chopard are the same!good work!Yes it will be on market soon..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be very surprised if the rep has the ETA Valgranges movt. I suspect that it will have an asian 7750 modded to look like the Valgranges. I doubt ETA will sell this movt on the open market.

lfovco Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I checked out Gran Turismo XL at an AD quite some time ago, it looks really nice on a wrist. Very cool for anyone looking at something that's 44mm and it's not PAM. If the new rep comes out with Swiss movement and looks good I'd sign up for one.

section8 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I absolutely cannot wait for this watch to be released in 1:1. Angus' pics in the other thread really look amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I actually like this cheapie Mille Miglia. It might not be 1:1 accurate, but hell of a big nice watch for 108 USD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Gran Turismo is OUT ???? Well ... the way this it looks .... they better put it back IN. Can really tell for sure that this is the same watch that Angus has showed us ....since what we saw from PT was a prototype ...... but what now Andy and Jos have on their sites .... has still a long way to go and many things to correct. If this comes out to be the same watch that Angus was taking about it ..... I am fully disappointed. Ignoring the fact that is using a CHN 21J mov ... and we were expecting a 7750 or a copy of an ETA VALGRANGE () ....both models/dials have many faults. - Both dials: Date color is wrong. Should be black in both dials. - Both dials: Crown not quite there yet. - Both dials: The hour markers not quite there yet. - Both dials: Sec hand with red arrow should be a bit longer (Ok I am a bit picky ... this is not that bad) - Black dial: Deep blue color rather than black. Compare it to the strap and inner outline of the date wheel) - Black Dial: Numbers printed on the inner bezel and all the text inside the dial are grey color rather than white. - White dial: There is no black outline around the hour markers nor around the 12 and 6 indicators. - White dial: Color hands (all three) is wrong. On the rep are silver on the gen are black. So .... if that is the same watch that Angus was talking about . ... I will wait for the 20th release version to come out first.
