snoxx Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 I am thinking about getting the Chopard gran Turismo XL in red gold, black dial combinatioon. Does anyone own one if it already? How about them?
blade007 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Posted August 21, 2008 hi, I own the asian 21j version. Its a great watch and is quite a bargain. Check out numerous reviews on this forum. Mine has a very noisy rotor though..
bene3 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Posted August 22, 2008 The GT XL is a very good rep for the money, the only problem with it is the noisy rotor and the strap is a dust magnet.
snoxx Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Posted August 23, 2008 I am actually interested in the one with the 7750 movement... does this one has a noisy rotor as well??
emuozz Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 I am actually interested in the one with the 7750 movement... does this one has a noisy rotor as well?? No more than usual, but if I recall correctly the 7750 version has a jerky second hand
eleley Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 No more than usual, but if I recall correctly the 7750 version has a jerky second hand It is exactly the same as the gen! The rotor noise as well as how the hand moves.
caracarnj Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 Yes, the rubber band IS a dust magnet. So be diligent to wipe it with a wet cloth often.
eleley Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 I am not sure, but I think the 7750 version's rubber band doesn't have problem with the dust and also has the vanilla scent, like the gen.
FxrAndy Posted August 23, 2008 Report Posted August 23, 2008 The one i saw the other day was very nice white face, ss, jerky seconds hand as i belive the gen has, and a very loud rotor, grease the bearing to quiet it down a bit. Very nice watch
snoxx Posted August 23, 2008 Author Report Posted August 23, 2008 Ok thank you! I was thinking about the red gold version with black dial, I ve seen it on andrew`s site. It looks spot on to the gen from the pics on his site...
