It turns out that the moment this particular watch has is actually an ETA 252.511 which is an HEQ movement also used in Omega Constellation and several other high quality quartz watches. This movement has been discontinued by ETA in 2008 which helps explain the high the price (technically advanced movement + limited stock availability).

Did you get the quotation to repair from Chopard?
Hi 99argonaut Welcome to our Forum. Could you provide details if : 1) when was your wife watch purchased? 2) did you get an official quotation from Chopard Boutique about the price? Kong Chopard Moderator
Did you get the quotation to repair from Chopard?
The watch is 4+ years old and outside warantee. The official Chopard repair cost is indicative and based on 2nd hand information. Do you think the cost indication for this type of repair is off the mark?

Still interested in the ETA movement details
Model nr is the 288347-3007. Regardless of the repair cost I am still intested in details of the ETA quartz movements used for these watches. Does Chopard make any modifications to them that explain the 300-350 pricetag for the quartz movement ?...
