The Miglia GMT

[TWP]

I am sure that we have all seen this watch by now, have read the reviews, and have formed our own opinions. As with every watch either they are, or are not appealing. My first experince with Chopard, like many of us, started with the 21 jewels XXL which I fell in love with, and immediately upgraded to the ultimate (a watch that unfortunately I am not happy with). When the GMT's came out several months ago I ordered three of each models and had no problems selling every model. Well through divine intervention one managed to stay in inventory to long, and instead of selling it quickly at a good price I thought that I would wear it for awhile with the thought of passing it off as used in the event that I did not like it.

Well what can I say, time has passed, seasons have changed, and now this has become one of my favorite watches. The bracelet is very well made, and I love the 'locking style' deployant clasp, although it was a bit tricky at first getting used to unlocking it, because I wear my watches predominantly on my right wrist. What I love most about this watch is the dial. The white is very clean and contrast nicely with the black subdials. The date aperature could have been done better, but hey other than that the watch is perfect. Bonus: Very close to the gen, too.

Cheers

I totally agree with you TWP. This is such an understated watch. I am really sure the engineers have put some thoughts hatching out this watch. It deserves some kind of design award. Surprisingly it's very easy to read (GMT hands, hour and minute hands, chrono hands). It's one of my favourites too.

love it - i have the black dial and where often with tons of comps, now maybe the white...the white looks very stunning -

Is this a 44 mm watch?

 

[takashi]

@triple-d: you can say that inclusive crown. Dial is big enough (bigger than Cousteaus Dial). Here is my piece.

It is built better than the Breitling Blackbird, looks better IMO, and cost is about $100 dollars less. The power reserve is very nice.

I understand completely what you are saying taka. Very understated

I will bet I have come back and looked at this post 10 times. I never really considered this watch until I saw your pictures. This is truly a sickness. But thank you.

From a gen dealer, perhaps? You can always just say it's for your brother or Dad, no need to bring in the watch itself.

But one additional reason I like this watch a lot if the solid, extremely comfortable, and great looking bracelet. If I were to replace the bracelet, I'd go with a high quality leather strap of some kind instead of rubber. I just replaced the rubber strap on XL with a leather strap with red stitching. Much, much classier.

Is there an asian version of this out there. That's a stunning piece.

 

[takashi]

This is the asian version. Using Asian 7750. I haven't seen one with ETA7750+GMT function.

love the chopard gmt. i was recently contemplating picking up a genuine, but they are pricey on the bracelet. the white dial is striking

How is the AR? Does the gen has double/strong AR?

 

[takashi]

The AR on the rep is single sided. Genuine has double sided AR.
