    A Grail has landed...Chopard Mille Miglia GT XL Chrono 2008

    After a lengthy wait i finally picked up a grail, i give you the Chopard GT XL Chrono 2008 limited edition

    Moved my last Chopard (Titanium chrono 38mm) on rather quickly as it never felt enough bang for my buck on my wrist and talked myself into selling it on, this is a different story you certainly know you have something special on your wrist here

    I'll let the photo's do the talking here

    Great looking watch. What size is it. Small wrist or big watch?

    Congratulations. I drove in the Mille Miglia that year and have one of the competitors' watches with the same serial number as my car's race number. Watch out for the screws holding the deployant to the strap coming loose - it's a known fault, and you wouldn't want it falling off your wrist!

    Lovely watch, I have always liked the Chopard 'racing' watches. A bit too much of a streach for me though.

    Now that is nice. Love the caseback. The engraving on the crystal is something I've not seen before. Looks good on the strap too. Something different and very refreshing.
