I eventually gave in and tried to get one of the Chopard mens replica I could find so here it is. Glad to add a new brand to my blog this way and give you guys an insight on a new model.
Simple all stainless steel good looker I’d say straight off the bat. I’m not a huge Chopard fan and funny enough neither is my friend who bought this fake watch in the first place, so we’re both not 100% sure whether the all stainless steel version comes with a silver (stainless steel) face like this one or not. We do know that they make one with a black dial that looks so very close to this one and that they have a silver dial on a rubber band but that’s about it.
The Chopard Mille Miglia Replica all stainless steel starts around 7k and some of the rubber band ones which are not gold cases start at around 5k so this will be your price range for the original version of this baby. Overall the dial elements are well cloned, hands and numbers and markers look very very close to the original and so are the colors. Powered by an automatic self-winding Japanese movement time is kept well and precise and also you get a good seconds hand sweeping motion.
Two-tone brushed and polished stainless steel bracelet is solid, has a good grip on the wrist and the links are held together by pins. There’s a military hour small chronograph at 6 o’clock and the other two are just for show. Date is set slightly different than you’d guess by pushing the bottom right hand side button below the crown. Back case has the Migle Miglia map of some sorts and looks very much in tone with the overall sportiness of the watch.
Would have been more happy with a nicer clasp as this one is kinda generic and not showing much detail but that’s the only input on the improvement list I’d have here so far. My friend is satisfied with the quality and glad he followed through with the purchase so needless to say that so am I. Check out some more photos from different angles and give me your thoughts on this piece.
