Congrats. I'm a fan of Chopard, nice watch.
Lovely watch! Where is the best place to buy a Chopad from? I know Chrono24 is popular but I was thinking more of a physical store where you could try them on and see them in the metal? So far Selfridges seems to be the best place I can find.

Got mine at the Chopard boutique in Selfridges (TBH I'm not sure where the next best place to buy Chopard is), problem is they do not discount frown But they may throw in a few extras (which are not cheap if you need to buy such extras / spare strap at retail).

Can you get it tax free by any chance? If so this can save you a fair bit.

There must be a few AD's around in the UK, cannot recall exactly off the top of my head.

There is (or was) a Chopard boutique at 14A Bond Street, but I've not been in London recently, so it might have moved. It's not showing up on their store locator.

The current locations are:
  • Selfridges
  • Harrods
  • 15C Clifford Street
  • Dorchester Hotel, 53 Park Lane

Chris, Try it on in Selfridges and then buy one from TZUK Forum. There's been a few mint condition ones for sale recently that I've been tempted by

Picked this up recently as I wanted a simple dress style watch. My other watch is a Rolex GMT 2 and a bit bulky for wearing with suits etc.

Parkhouse & Wyatt in Southampton are AD for Chopard and are great to deal with, less of the attitude some London retailers have. They sometimes have them second hand.

Thanks. Just got it back from a service yesterday so thought it rude not to wear it a while.

How's the bracelet on that, Andy?

I'm considering buying the Turtle re-edition and I'd like to buy it on the bracelet. Trouble is that (other than your Pepsi PADI special) only the blue bezel/blue dial and black/gold bezel and dial versions come on the bracelet. I'd like the black bezel/dial version but it only comes on the Z22 rubber.

Is the bracelet good? If not, I may buy with the Z22 but swap it for a retro diver strap.
