dadog13 Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 (edited) King has advertised a new release...a CHOPARD limited edition MILLE MIGLIA in PVD... it's nice...dunno how close it is to the gen...but it is for sure niiiiiiice... I have a feeling that lately the new releases have been only chronos, is it just me or?!!! Edited October 14, 2007 by TwoTone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 The first one really strikes me. Love that Red/Black combo. However, it's still not a must buy for me because I already have SS version of this watch. Definitely worth considering though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely worth considering though. i love the colour combo on that one to...red and black with a little white on the dial...looks good...prefer it over the second one...never liked the TT anyway...

Mickey Padge Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Why does the PVD version make me think of Star Wars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I too like the black/red one, but did they ever fix the misspellings on the crown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barsa4ever Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 where was it advertised? and prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillininla Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 Yeah, I agree with you guys, the red/black looks great. It's listed on King's site but don't know what the price is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takashi Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 What do you mean by misspelling on the crown? It's written 1000 Miglia which I think is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 What do you mean by misspelling on the crown? It's written 1000 Miglia which I think is correct. There was a Chopard that the crown actually said 1000 Ailgim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takashi Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 I believe crown spelling mistake doesn't exist in this replica. It's only on Mille Miglia GTXL non chrono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordRasta Posted October 14, 2007 Report Share Posted October 14, 2007 These must be fantasy watches. They aren't on the Chopard site. Here is a gen to compare against, the first thing I notice on the rep is the font and spacing for the word "GMT" is all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the version it must be based on: And the "1000 AILGIM" is on the 21J versions of the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMK000 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Dont know if gen or fantasy ... but the black and red looks nice. Of course and as you can clearly see, even though advertised as PVD is not PVD. Is either painted black or it has a very very thin PVD layer.

Of course and as you can clearly see, even though advertised as PVD is not PVD. Is either painted black or it has a very very thin PVD layer. In either cases this the best combo to attract scratches. You gonna end up with a watch full of scratches ... which I dont see how you can repair. Well, if somebody decides to go ahead with this watch, lets hope he can post a review. I'm curious @AMK, how can you tell from pictures about quality of PVD ? Since PVD watches are gaining popularity in rep world, I would like to know hot to tell quality of PVD. BTW, I found somewhere that this watch is supposed to be ceramic coated SS, so I guess in that case it should be shiny/polished. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMK000 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Its very simple. The conclusion (that is either painted or treated with a very very thin layer of PVD) is based on the following facts. - CHN rep producers are famous for using very cheap materials and keeping the production cost as low as posible. - The color of the case. Is shinny black (paint ?) rather than matte black (more std on true PVD). - To apply a true PVD is an expensive process (dont think CHN rep makers will do that). In this forum we have some owners of B&R and PAMs with "shinny balck" PVD (suposely) treatment. They can confirm how easily you can get these scratched. Here is a good article for PVD on watches: http://nicholastime.com/pages.php?pageid=24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAS Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 The black color seems to be a bit glossy for beeing real PVD, don't you think? looks like paint... but maybe it's only me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
