Buy or don´t buy
Hi Chrunchers, I hope you all are having a great day. I am searching for a christmas present for myself and already heard about Maurice Lacroix. My parents gave me a budget of 400$ and the Prx 35mm is the top favorite. But I stumbled across this watch and thought about getting this one. But there is a problem: The price of 670$. I have no problem by also paying something fo my present, but its gotta be a good one. Also I gotta keep in mind that there gonna be some Black Friday Deals and Christmas sales. A upsite is that a shop in my City offers the watch for the normal price, so I can try it out. But this is a outlet offer so I probably got to decide fast. However I defenitly gonna try this watch on my wrist, but would you recommend me to buy it? Or should I stay with a prx 35mm? Thanks for your time and help.

I’m sorry, I meant to vote for the Tissot. I think it is much more of a versatile watch in terms of when/where you can wear it. But if you really like the ML, and your gut is speaking to you, go with your gut! Maybe look up resell values just in case you don’t care for it once you have it for a bit; if it resells for enough, you could be able to buy the Tissot still after all said and done. Have a great day as well.

Thanks, defenitly gonna keep this in mind.
Personal choice is the PRX but that's me and your the one going to be wearing it.

I think the PRX will be more versatile and age better. It a nice watch and dial colour.
I‘m a fan of ML watches in general but I think the PRX is the better choice. The main argument for the PRX is that it's a cleaner looking watch and therefore more versatile. It’s also more modern looking. But at the end of the day watches are about personal taste. I would suggest to go to some ADs and trying them on. Watches are looking totally different in person.
And at the end of the day you wear the watch. So buy the watch you personally prefer. Buying a watch only because others are suggesting it is never a good idea. When you don‘t feel comfortable with one of those two in person take the other one.
They are very different watches. I would choose the PRX.
I would go for the Tissot in that case, the price is good and it's a very 70's looking watch.
Since both are quartz pieces, I'd get the less expensive of the two -- the Tissot.

Thank you
Is there a specific Lacroix you like? I really like the PRX and if its on your list. Its on my list too!
If you have the money, get whichever one you prefer. You’ve liked the PRX longer, so make sure that you actually like the ML better before you purchase that one.
Something about that ML really feels special to me.
The voting system for this site is so broken. You try to see the photo and it votes for you. And then there's no way to change the vote.

I like the look of the ML Aikon watches. Already had the Prx 35mm on my wrist, felt great. I think there is a pretty high chance that I gonna get me the Prx with the ice blue dial for Christmas.

So you also would prefer the Prx?
I vote the PRX! An honorable mention is the Maen Manhattan 37. Saw this at Windup and it is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks the Maen looks great
PRX wins this match
The PRX is such a great package. You’ll love it! If you like the look of the ML more, then you should go for that instead, though.
Looks is always more important than the price or value for money.
