Rare moments with the Mille Miglia 2014 Race Edition

 
 By: KMII : October 11th, 2016-01:07
The Mille Miglia 2014 Race Edition has been my second Chopard, entering our household about one year after the LUC Chrono One. I choose my words precisely, as it also changed ownership to my wife pretty much upon entry Even though she never had the watch ...  

I hear you :)

Really like the case size (perfect IMHO), the Italy themed dial and the lovely numerals Given that it is not a LUC, a date is a given and sadly here the date disc is not exactly the same shade as the dial. And I have to say my wife definitely appreciates ... 

We all have this problem! ;)

But it helps in argument of when to get the next one...! Very nice, your wife a have great taste! Best Blomman

We do, I guess :)

And thanks for the compliment, as I chose the watch in the first place

LOL! True! ;) [nt]

So I take it some of your JLCs and GPs...

Went the same way?

I feel for you :)

 
 By: KMII : October 11th, 2016-03:53
But they often work very well on their wrists, too, so...

I see this as a good thing....

Now I can say I have no Vintage 1945 and need to find one for me! Best Blomman

You are further ahead ;)

Still working on establishing that logic

Don't I know it :) [nt]

Only three so far ;)

I am flattered but it will take me quite some time to compete with CaliforniaJed or MTF in this regard.

Working on that :) [nt]

Good luck as the level is very high here ;-)

Point of order: The strap is designed that way

 
 By: MTF : October 17th, 2016-17:22
Congratulations on rescuing the watch if only for a few hours You mentioned the strap is at the "end of life". I wonder? It looks like a Barenia leather strap. If so, it is supposed to become gently "distressed" for the vintage look. Small scratches are s... 

From the top...

 
 By: KMII : October 17th, 2016-21:10
It still looks great, just that on the sides it looks like it is slowly falling apart. Which makes it look more distressed than the odd self healing scratch. I have to say it is supremely comfortable, which is a big plus, though Thanks for viewing, MTF!

My Barenia strap also goes that way

 
 By: MTF : October 18th, 2016-02:18
That is the way the sides become "vintage" look. While the top surface is self healing, the sides are not. I don't wear my Barenia strap as I often as yours so it is a little behind in changing. Regards MTF

Well, then let's see :)

Now I am curious! I guess Chopard will have to wait a bit for the next strap order, then
