Maurice Lacroix watches
Discussion
I bought a ML Pontos Rectangle Chronograph in December 09:
My opinions:
Positives:
1. Its a lovely watch. feels like its worth more than perhaps pricing indicates.
2. Smooth movement and solid feel to crown and chrono buttons.
3. Nice clasp on the leather strap.
4. Seems to keep good time, but i havent been anal about checking to see how many seconds. If left alone for a few days it still keeps charge.
5. I compared it at the same time to a Tag Monaco. The Tag felt like a cheap piece of s
t in comparison that was vastly overpriced. tinny and bland. But thats just my opionion.
Negatives:
1. I wish i'd bought from Watchfinder or similiar. I bought in Singapore, got 25% off retail, but looking on various sites they're worth bugger all second hand in relation to new price. However if you are buying at 50% off i'd say go for it.
2. The packaging is a bit crap - carboard box (material covered) but certainly below what i expected.
3. Probably worst of all is that it does seem to mark, or rather dent, easily. There are a few tiny nicks on the case, and i just wear it in an office. I dont think it will wear too well tbh.
Overall, look far more expensive than the price would dictate but the market doesnt seem to like them resale wise.
If you can get 50% of it will feel a lot nicer than perhaps the equivalently priced watches.
