mvonair 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Dear friends, some advice please. my brother has bought from a flea market the attached choppard. http://i1069.photobucket.com/albums/u461/mvonair/DSCN5446.jpg besides that it is quartz i have no idea what engine it wears. my concern is that the seconds dial is not reseting @12 and generally i think the functions are not good. do i have any option to see for buying another rep engine for this watch and change it? by all other means this watch is beautiful thank you MV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike 1108 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Theoretically, sure. Chances are, you will probably need a new movement, dial, hands, movement holder, - everything except the case - if the case is interchangeable - and you will have to pay for someone to do the change out... If you want a "non quartz" version, you are better off to buy a new watch from a TD. Just my opinion. Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amit 72 Posted June 1, 2012 Nah mate...not worth it. The rep our dealers offer of this is very very good. but this one is all wrong. Not worth doing anything with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mirage 0 Posted June 1, 2012 On quartz Movement you just need to pull the crown in Time adjusting mode and push the start/stop button to move the reset point of the seconds chrono hand by one sec Took me a while to figure that out though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DFH 0 Posted June 1, 2012 Sorry to bear bad news - but literally not worth doing anything to it. The TD version of this model is spot on - you should definitely check it out! Best of luck, mate... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
