Default OT: Great Watch Deal..

I was out to last night at Hollywood and Highland (yes, you guessed it, at Koji's eating Shabu-Shabu.) and I happened to walk into a store that is moving locations. They are having a fire sale on many pieces and one of the things I noticed was a Chopard Mille Miglia.
I asked the salesman how much off, he said 50%. It's a $5100 MSRP, you can do the math.
The watch was titanium on titanium bracelet. Skeleton back.

The second watch was also a Mille Miglia. Was on a dunlop tire bracelet. Was only $1700.

I have absouletely NO affiliation with the store. Have never bought anything from them. Had I not just bought a Chopard Mille Miglia, one week ago and a Polaris two months ago and had a new Pcar on the way, I would have swooped it up in a second.

It really is a great deal for anyone considering this watch family.
50% off..

Contact me for more info.
(use my pm or email)

one of the watches looked something like this:

http://www.jomashop.com/12-8900-sv.html

the other looked like this:

http://www.jomashop.com/chopard-158915.html

I don't know if the above watches are the exact same, I forgot to get the model numbers when I was in the store.. It's just a close guess.



BTW, Just so I am loud and clear.. I am not in the watch business. These do not belong to me. I have never sold a watch in my life. I just happened to come across these two great deals and thought if someone in the crew wanted one, now's a good time to buy it.

PM or email me if you want the # to the store and salesman.

Thanks for the headsup but I don't need a watch right now. My $29.99 Timex is still ticking and keeps acurate time. Time is expensive enough.....so no need to raise it's price for me.

Sorry guys..

The only two watches at that price were the Chopards.. They were also offering 30% off Omega but that's no deal.. I can buy an Omega at 35% off all day long.

No Panerai's, IWC, AP's, Rolex's, JLC's, etc.. Or don't you think I'd have bought them all..

Silversteel.. Nope sorry, they didn't have the GranTourismo. I looked at that watch in a white face before I bought this last week:

Expensive watches remind us that "time is money."

Sorry Crazy Canuck... No chance in hell. It took me a few months to find that watch pictured above. It's a limited edition, GMT, Chrono. I do know of one more but the dealer who has it won't let it go for better than 20% off MSRP. And, the dealer is in "the islands" but is authorized Chopard so I'm sure it's legit.

If you want more info on model number and description, PM me and I'll send info your way.

The watch above is the Mille Miglia 16/8458.. It is the 2006 Limited Edition. It is the same as the watch you have posted above but has a white face and they are only making 2006 watches.

My watch, the 16/8994 was the 2005 Limited Edition. They only made 2005 of these pieces. I assume next year they will make 2007 of the new limited edition, and so on and so on.


Hope this helps.
