TWP Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I am sure that we have all seen this watch by now, have read the reviews, and have formed our own opinions. As with every watch either they are, or are not appealing. My first experince with Chopard, like many of us, started with the 21 jewels XXL which I fell in love with, and immediately upgraded to the ultimate (a watch that unfortunately I am not happy with). When the GMT's came out several months ago I ordered three of each models and had no problems selling every model. Well through divine intervention one managed to stay in inventory to long, and instead of selling it quickly at a good price I thought that I would wear it for awhile with the thought of passing it off as used in the event that I did not like it. Well what can I say, time has passed, seasons have changed, and now this has become one of my favorite watches. The bracelet is very well made, and I love the 'locking style' deployant clasp, although it was a bit tricky at first getting used to unlocking it, because I wear my watches predominantly on my right wrist. What I love most about this watch is the dial. The white is very clean and contrast nicely with the black subdials. The date aperature could have been done better, but hey other than that the watch is perfect. Bonus: Very close to the gen, too.

I wore mine the day after you posted that you had bought one. The build, finish, and fit on the Extreme is excellent. It conforms very nicely to the wrist and the strap...yaaaahooooo....your are going to love it, comfortable as hell. On that note. Just let me know when you want your GMT. Special price for an ole buddy Cheers TWP Edited September 28, 2007 by TWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barsa4ever Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Beautiful piece indeed, but by any chance can you get pics of the orig Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brep Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 (edited) Do a quick search at TZ, I did a quick compare of my MM GMT (purchased from TWP of course) to the original and the rep is amazingly close. It is truly a beautiful watch and deserving of a bump in the rotation. -B TWP - drop me a line one of these days...

millemiglia Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I heard different tales about the AR coating on this watch, some says it's single sided other say that no matter whatthey do, they cannot see any AR on it. What's the truth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I agree - this is a great watch made with a lot of love for detail. Mine runs extremely accurate and I am very happy with it. I have meanwhile put it on a leather strap and that too looks great. I have a Chopard magazine ad with my exact model of the MM GMT and it looks just perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkerouac Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I have the same version as Prince, and agree with the others on this thread that the Chopard Miglia GMT is a stunning, fantastic watch, and one of the best reps available today. I received three compliments from random strangers in the first two days that I wore it. I am somewhat surprised that this watch does not receive more comment on RWG. Although I haven't inspected the movement, it has the best "feel" of any of my 7750s, keeps excellent time, and has a strong power reserve. My sole complaint is that on my watch the cyclops sits a bit higher than it should. This would be easily adjusted by someone who is comfortable with basic repairs. In my case I'll have the crystal properly adjusted when I send it out for service in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desuetude Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Beautiful watch, TWP, I really need to keep my credit card from jumping out from my wallet again...I probably won't hold off too long, hehe! That said, I do hope you tightened the screw by the clasp, I wouldn't want to see that pretty piece mangled up from a nasty fall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TWP Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 You have that model for sell ? I do have this model for sell. Please pm me or email me at TWP.RWG@gmail.com for details. I heard different tales about the AR coating on this watch, some says it's single sided other say that no matter whatthey do, they cannot see any AR on it. What's the truth? All the ones I have ordered and personally inspected have ar coating on them. I have the same version as Prince, and agree with the others on this thread that the Chopard Miglia GMT is a stunning, fantastic watch, and one of the best reps available today. I received three compliments from random strangers in the first two days that I wore it. I am somewhat surprised that this watch does not receive more comment on RWG. Although I haven't inspected the movement, it has the best "feel" of any of my 7750s, keeps excellent time, and has a strong power reserve. I could not agree with you more. With a full wind and a day of wearing sometimes my reserve last as long as 70 hours. This is a clean, elegant watch and it deserves more attention then some of current reps on the market. Built just as well as the Blackbird, better looking, and about $100 dollars cheaper . Why is this watch not getting all the buzz as others ?

millemiglia Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Fantastic bracelet, and that playful "magical" effect on the front side served by the 3 rings of numbers (starting from the Bezel) which use on purpose specific sizes and fonts, ahh the beauty! TWP, I know you make stunning re-lume jobs (I'm still drooling over those PAM pics you showed me in the thread I started about lume color - Cyan VS Green - ) would you consider this watch needs one? (probably the icing on the cake?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(probably the icing on the cake?) I am going to take some fresh pictures of my love tonight. I will include an ar shot for you and a lume shot. I will have to admit that the lume is pretty shabby. Let me disassemble mine tonight and to see if your proposition is feasible. Cheers TWP Edited September 28, 2007 by TWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I am feeling a draw to this. I really feel the need for a GMT Chrono. Anyone got any work for a UNIX Sysadmin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmmm...I am in need of a couple new signatures. Perhaps we can work something out. Cheers TWP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
