Chopard Alpine Eagle

[GusFring]

Hi All

Sorry if this is stupid question, I’m still naive and short of knowledge being new to the world of luxury watches, with me previously just collecting cheapish weird & wonderful watches I like over the years.

Recently walked past a Chopard boutique, I didn’t have any cards or truthfully the cash to buy anything so I just had a quick stare in to the window.

I’m sure I am not alone in liking the Alpine Eagle, all of them in fact but specifically the blue face and instantly thought that’s a watch for me in the near future. I’d heard good things on the Hodinkee podcast but this was first time seeing it up close.

Anyway I digress, my main question was how difficult is it to get one? Is it the same silly fun & games as per Rolex, with waiting lists, desposits and all that crap maybe even more difficult? Or more just a case of if you have the money and a few people skills you might be able to walk out with one fairly quickly.

Would also love to see pics as I’m sure there are a few here with said watch.

Thanks
Gus
