NWA: Chopard Alpine Eagle Maritime Edition
This will be my final purchase of the year... maybe. I've been searching for one all year and didn't think I'd ever find one. Limited to 65 pieces and only sold a few fancy boutiques, not many come up for sale. It's 41mm with a an absolutely stunning dial. Of course it has APRO vibes to it or maybe PP Nautilus. I took some quick and dirties, but my photos just don't capture the dial as it looks in person. It's also got some nice lume. I'll post more pics later!

Not really my style, but very very nice, even got the screw heads lined up right.
If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry.

Congratulations 
those are awesome. Nice case work and finish. Gorgeous dial texture. Nice calibre too and likely more reliable than AP’s. It’s a beauty 
well done

I am not a fan of Roman numeral numbering on watches at all.. however I will make an exception for this piece.
Lovely piece.
I almost took the plunge on a Chopard diver in the last year or so that was hanging around on a watch site. I like brands that are normally associated (in my mind anyway) with dressier stuff.... then come out of the traps with tooler / more hardy looking watches / dive watches etc. When Chopard do this they do it great.
Lovely piece.. lovely colour.. lovely shape.
Wear it in good health.

Whoa that case is kinda nautilus shaped. Dial is eye popping. Dig that man.

Love it. Don't know if I'm a flashy enough guy to pull off that dial color, but I love my dark blue version. A+++ watch. Only complaint is that the bracelet doesn't taper (or at least, not enough).
Of course the APRO or PPN vibes are there, but this really is a recreation of a vintage Chopard model -- the St. Moritz from the early 80's:
