And a big thanks to Chopard customer service [at HQ] for the complementary leather racing strap [pic below] while my bracelet was being replaced.  The short version of the story is that my bracelet was broken under warranty and a replacement bracelet could not be had for at least 4 months [back order] so Chopard send me this beautiful leather racing strap to tie me over.  Nice.....

How in the world you get this piece? Nice auspicious number too Did you go the race? It is another beautiful classic car rally in Austria, which is starting next week. Thanks for sharing! Kong

I was looking to purchase another vintage rolex gmt but saw this in the display box. As a fan of racing thought it was so cool with the "tire" band and beautiful chronos in the blue and white. It is still a favorite even though it gets little wrist time i...

My 2005 MM

 
 By: alfa_corsa : July 2nd, 2013-08:14
I too have a 2005 model MM and while I love it, I've been a little disappointed in its lack of robustness. I'm not a huge collector but I've been adding the occasional watch to my stash over the past few decades. My current inventory is as follows: -2005 ...

Off all, the vintage series are my cup of tea.

 
 By: ling5hk : May 14th, 2009-16:57
They are very different from the look of other MM, not really a sport watch as compared to other MM. Kong, Will there be future development for vintage series or this is one off thing? Regards Ling

You are right at this moment :-)

 
 By: Kong : May 15th, 2009-22:52
If this MM Vintage is worn in 50's and 60's, it is different. Not so sure if there is any new development. Kong

After looking at all the modern Mille Miglias...

my favourite is still the 168331. With the highly polished bezel and rounded side case, it looks very elegant in metal. I didn't know it was a 1998 design. In my opinion it will remain a classic.

Black, of course [nt]
