Chopard Mille Miglia GMT

Then as now...
Hey Y'all I stumbled across an old 1981 catalog with prices yesterday which stated that a 145.022 which is a Speedy Pro of that time cost GBP294 on a bracelet with its' strap sibling at GBP282.Bearing in mind that the exchange rate was 0.49764 back then, this sets the price of the Speedy Pro at $590. It is now $3,000. Hence the cost of the watch has gone up 5 fold ( 5.07 to be precise ) in 26 years. In the UK we are less fortunate in that we are now paying 5.7x more for the same watch with its' MSRP of GBP1,675. The price of a Honda Accord though it has since increased in size since its' early days has gone up over 6x in the same period. A newly-serviced 145.022 at a pre-loved dealer in the UK can be anywhere around GBP1650. Compare this with a new 3570.50 at GBP1,675, which would you rather have?Which brings me to another comparison. The old Honda Accord would have long been scrapped but there are many 145.022s around, dating over a decade back from 1981 Oh and guys, will you please,

Finally pulled the trigger on this one!!
Had been on the fence with this one ever since it was released and I finally caved and pulled the trigger on it! My AD called and there was one left in Switzerland Although Breitling has become expensive with the inhouse movement which I won't be buying them as much, this is by all accounts a killer piece!! I am loving everything about it and it has not left the wrist since she arrived A few quick shots...Thanks,DonMississippi
