I should have been a tad more specific - like Breitling Chopard doesn't just buy a completed movement and slap it in. They finish them to their standards, so each movement goes by a Chopard Caliber #. The white or black dial MM GMT Chonos are very sharp and sporty watches. At 42.5mm diamater, they do wear larger. I bought mine used on TZ or WUS, with a full length Rally strap, a short Rally (perfect for me) and a rubber "dunlop." All with interchangable tang and deployment clasps. I don't rememeber what I paid, but the condtion of the watch was near perfect(for a 2005 model I was amazed) and it was certainly less than $2500.
The Monaco Historique on the brushed/polished SS bracelet (pictured above) is about $7400 retail (before discount) new. That's what I meant by a bit over-priced IMO. It thas one of the best exhibition displays I've seen.
Another nice touch on the MMs is the date cyclops is mounted UNDER the crystal.
Yeah, I knew the part about touching the movements up before putting them into the final product. I have been looking at Chopard and have a great interest in them, especially after learning about the innards being of quality. And if what you say is correct, which I have no reason to argue, then great! A good watch for a good price.
