Chopard MM GTXL Chrono, Black dial - Your opinion please!

Hi all,

The last 2 months I am looking for the best version of this watch.

First one is the version that most of the "known" dealers offer. For example:

http://www.puretimewatch.com/index.php?productID=106

Rotor has the regulator but caseback is wrong (No LUC, 50m instead of 100m, 8459 instead of 16/8459).

Second version has correct case back, but no regulator:

http://s302.photobucket.com/albums/nn84/ec...tatcaseback.jpg

Dials on both versions look exactly the same to me.

So, I had finally concluded (with Takashi's help) to go for the second version, until I saw this:

http://www.repgeek.com/showthread.php?t=30600

Correct caseback and regulator!

Since the photos are not very good, I cannot tell if its dial is as good as the dials of the above two versions, but it looks it is.

Is this a new, "more ultimate" version? He is the only dealer that offers the specific one.

The other problem is that if you not keep the watch in your hand, you cannot say a lot about the quality.

So, what would you do..??? I would be grateful if you could make some research for me. Your eye is much more experienced than mine :D

Thank you in advance.

Hi Eleley,

I have purchased the same watch from Watchstation, dealer of the version 2 that you have shown in your post. When I dealt with him, he told me the version he gave me was the "Best Version".

As my inquiry was version 2 in the beginning, Watchstation didn't recommended it as he said V2 has A7750, 21600 bph. The best version is A7750 28,800 bph. I am new and not too sure of the difference but the price difference was big enuf! (PM me for details).

I have posted some photos at http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showtopic=80682

So far the complaints being AR is almost non-existence (I can be wrong bcos this is my 1st rep afterall!) and the chrono hand was loose after I reset it while it was running, without stopping it 1st.

Hope I am of some help. Cheers!

PS: Btw, how to spot a regulator?

Other dealers may offer it. If you have a preferred dealer contact them. But other dealers may not stock it because it makes no economic sense to offer 3 versions of the same watch. Alternatively, if you are very concerned about the back of the watch I would suggest you go to the limited edition with silver dial. It has an excellent solid case back with individual serial numbers depending on the dealer (if I remember correctly). At least it is not another black dial watch and the gen is a far more exclusive watch. :D

Yes, limited edition is perfect, but honestly I don't like the silver dial. Obviously, I am the exception...

Thank you :)
