Iβm beyond ecstatic to announce yet again another Alpine π¦
XPS has landed!
Sep 22, 2023,19:42 PM
Work has been a little crazy lately. Spent the last two weeks at a client engagement in Cartagena, Columbia with no wrist companions!
Last Wednesday, I was totally shocked when I received a text stating my AE XPS had arrived!π I finally had the opportunity to head down to NYC via Acela!
Love Culture Espresso!
Had to wait until 11:00 for the Chopard Boutique on 5th Avenue to open:
Thereβs my spectacular beauty still in the plastic:
First wrist shot after sizing:
They ordered a half link, which will take a few weeks:
Iβve said this before and Iβll say it again: Chopard sets the gold standard for customer service! Despite no prior purchase history, I was able to acquire this stunner without any mind games or needing to purchase unwanted pieces! Other brands can learn from Chopard!

Didn't you just put the order in just a couple of months ago???? How did you get yours so quick??? BIIIIIGGG Congrats! Super congrats to you! Bravo! So happy for you!
If I recall correctly...

I think I put my order in before Mach did, and I was told to wait until late next year. Either way!!! I'm so happy for you Mach! This probably also means mine will come in sooner than I expect. Maybe they meant end of this year? No.... Anyways... I can wa...

This is a safe place. We can discuss our embarrassment of riches! Will definitely show it to you in person when it comes!
Thanks again, Patrick!π₯

I was told end of this year / early next year. I had truly prepared myself mentally for 1st quarter 2024. This was beyond unbelievable! Hopefully, this means an early delivery for your piece and others (Michael and anyone else Iβm missing)!π€ Once again, C...

Quite possibly!

Maybe I went to a more "Crowded" store. Although Mach went to NYC store, which I would imagine is pretty crowded? Hmm... Who knows... Miami and Southern California are more beach-weather places, maybe the NYC store had less clients after this watch due to...
I'm not worried!

I've got watches coming out of my ears!
March 29th is when I requested an allocation . . ,

Less than six months, you will hear no complaints from me. But I had been developing a relationship with my SA over the years. I came close to the blue AE a few times. But he knows Iβm a serious collector! But I should also thank you as well. I was initia...
You're MOST welcome!
By: patrick_y : September 23rd, 2023-02:07
Yes, the price is definitely fair. This watch is equivalent to a Patek Philippe 5711 in many ways except there's no date and it's a petite seconds vs a center sweep seconds. Other than that, the watches are on the same level. Especially finishing, they're...
I agree with Patrick
By: MilDiver : September 23rd, 2023-04:59
This watch, unlike many others, is a watch which tops 5711/12 in every aspect of quality and finishing while retaining the durability of a submariner as a daily watch (lets ignore scratches...). something you can't expect from AP RO for example...
Indeed! My crazy thoughts have gotten even more extreme!
By: patrick_y : September 23rd, 2023-17:04
The movement is still not as robust as a Submariner watch though. And the lack of date - while more aesthetically pleasing, is a small danger. If I were stranded on a deserted island (who knows, this may be a paradise) I would still want a Submariner as m...
Holy smoke!

Congrats Mark! πππ Enjoy that beauty!
Great watch

And cappuccinos! We need a WPS version π
Thanks, my friend!π₯

I let you lead the efforts to lobby for a WPS AE!π
Nice photos

Congrats on a lovely watch
Great , "grand" watch :-)
By: MilDiver : September 23rd, 2023-05:05
IMO one of the really "bargains" in the market (as long as you can call 20K watch a bargain) . But, a watch with top level movement, not only quality and finishing, but innovation and "smart". this movement is designed to work like a daily beater. Thin ca...
Yes! Congratulations Mark!!

Could not be more excited for you! What a nice reward after the 2 week trip down South. I'll venture to guess you might never go 2 weeks without having that gorgeous Eagle upon your wrist! May you wear it for many years to come in the best of health
Congratulations!

I'm quite happy to learn that you didn't have to play games to acquire this stunning watch. Hopefully a reminder that it is more satisfying to look where others do not.
