Chopard

Thanks for the update and the lume shot...

 

Indeed this period (festive) is not helping, many of the people are off including.
I know this 2007 Chrono range is very popular.

I think you have made the best choice considering all the variables. 

They will change the whole dial and please use Anthony's checklist to buy-off before taking away the next round.

It is a nice piece and I'm happy for you can get a piece and on one hand, this irritation.
Please try to make the best of the situation and enjoy the watch for the moment.


As for the lume shot, try to lock/hold  your camera focus with the light-on.  Get someone to switch off the light and you snap the picture.
It should get a better picture. 
Or you can use a touchlight and shine on, focus , hold/lock camera, off touch and shoot.

Here is a photo of the bad lume and a photo lit up. The lume shot is not the clearest but you can definitely see that the mark at 11 is not lit up. Love the watch but pissed off about bad lume at 11. Surprised something like this could happen with what is...  

Very interesting. Never seen this on any watch from any brand before

Guess I have to add it to my list of usual things to test on a new watch whenever I pick it up from a store: 1) make sure hour and minute hands line up at 12 o'clock 2) winds properly 3) date change works 4) no dents on case and scratches on sapphire crys...

Took the watch back to the AD today. They said they have never seen that happen before on any brand and could not possibly understand how it got through QC. They called their other store to see if they had another one in stock to do an exchange but they d... 

Quick Update - Response from Chopard

I thought it was appropriate to let Chopard corporate know what happened with my watch as everyone I've talked to seemed very surprised something like this could happen. So I sent Chopard an email yesterday via their website but assumed it would just go u...
