You bought it. Legally you had entered into a contract with them and had given them consideration (money) and had gotten a reasonable expectation to get the watch you ordered from them. For them to later say it was sold out because it was supposed to be sold out of the boutiques and not online would technically give you a legal case to sue. Since you would've argued that you wouldn't have called the boutique since you had a reasonable assumption that you had secured one online already. I'm glad
Cracking piece, from the sculpted lugs, brush work of the sectored dials to the thought that has gone into the design of the hands, congrats! The associated packaging is also very nice. Looks like a timber box with actual marquetry inlay, is that the case? Also, on the pull out tray, what is that turning handle looking thing to the right of the eye loupe holder?
You tell that great story very well! Glad it ended up as you wanted. 1 of 25 online as you did must have annoyed a lot of people, but good for you! The box is very nice, great effort from Chopard! Could you tell us more about the watch? And maybe some back shots? What is the little tool at the bottom right on the other side of the loupe? Best, and congrats again! E.
Just like the Omega Snoopy 3, there are so many deposits taken since Oct 2020 but no delivery commitments for a lot of collectors and "Specollectors" wink wink.... This piece is not supposed to appear online but it did, and it's the only one so I can only say it's destined to be mine. The box is HEAVY, really NICE
The box is made of real wood, heavy and you're correct on the inlay. I was also intrigued by the little handle, and it can be turned but later I found out it is found winding the watch. You insert in on the crown and use the knob to turn to wind it, not sure if I will do that since I won't be able to feel the torque but it's a nice touch.
and not supposed to be on there but I grab it at the right time....all stars aligned for me. I will spend the next couple days taking more photos and macro shots. The little tool is for winding the watch...surprising?! You insert it on the crown and turn the knob.
