New Chopard Gran Tourismo XL arrived today

Recommended Posts

AlphaLima

So, i got a lovely surprise when i got home. it was one of those little red notes telling me to drive all the way back to the post office as my housemate couldn't be arsed to get out of bed and answer the door at the ungodly hour of 11:15am.

 

Anyway, after picking up my parcel, i found a lovely new rep inside. I've had my eyes on this watch since i saw one offered in the members section a while ago. Reg sent around his e-mails like a dealer telling people that a fresh shipment of smack had arrived, and after robbing a few houses i had enough money to get my fix.

 

The watch itself is solid. It feels robust, and has a weighty quality to it, and the fit and finish is superb. I have only found one minor blemish on it, a little mark on the lume at the 2 position, but i can easily live with. I only noticed after zooming in.

Other than the red indices for the minutes, and the slightly narrow numbers on the rehaut, it's pretty damn close to the gen.

Overall, i'm extremely happy with this watch for a mere £76. The rotor is a little loud, but if you drive a diesel from 1984 or you are into dubstep in a big way, i doubt you'd hear it.

 

 

EDIT: Here's a wristy.....it's mighty comfortable.

Great looking watch for the price. Like the chrono version more though, but that has a completely different pricetag :)

That's an awesome rep for the quality. Awesome choice for a good looking watch regardless of it being a rep or not.

 

Where did you get it?

i got it from Reg or Narikaa as you may know him. He's one of the trusted dealers on here, and whilst he doesn't list every watch he has, he keeps a dropbox of all the watches he has in stock.

It's a little on the noisy side, but only if i'm trying to hear it. In ambient noise i can't pick it up. Smooth though.

Couldn't tell you. All i know is that it's a standard Asian 21j auto movement.

Two of the best.

Really, if chrono - why boring black or white dial? Grey is the most unusual.

And if 21J mov't - why not with working power reserve?

Especially, if it looks like a fuel gauge.
