Try a shift->Refresh, which usually forces a complete re-read on most(?) browsers.
Can you get the new avatar by just clicking on the old avatar in a post, or by right-clicking and opening the image in a new tab?
If not, try getting Chrome to clear all it's cache and history.

Normally the browser will reload the image either when it's declared caching-time or sooner and it's rare for the latter to be more than a couple of days. I imagine your PC's clock has the correct time and isn't a month out or something like that. I think Windows gets time online these days, though I'm not certain of that as I don't let Windows touch the system clock.
