Where should my money go?

On the used findings, I have these 3 choices, they are about the same price. Which one should I get?

Louis Vuitton Escala Otomatica Time Zone

Maurice Lacroix chronograph, Venus Mvmt and 18 k White gold case

Bell & Ross Aviation BR 03=92, White ceramic Bezel

Will lead all three are not exactly small, but there is one clear winner for me, the ML:

  • Precious metal

  • More importantly Minerva

·

Which do you like more? you have no other options, cualquiera que compres nuevo si lo quieres vender le vas a perder mucho, talvez el ML Minerva es el mejor de todos por su calibre tan fino

keep the money in the bank

No doubt the LV! Stunning watch, Fabrique du temps is awesome. I love their take on a world time here. I personally like the multi colored offering, though this is lovely. The build quality on these Labs is strong if you have never handled.

·

The LV!

·

These are all greatly different watches, what is on your mind when choosing? None of these are similar even. Don't want to sound negative at all but can't even make a side by side comparison. Me? I would go BR but that's my taste

ML

ML-LV-B&R

ML

Louis Vuitton, different take on a useful complication.

·

Logically; put the money in the bank. Emotionally; Maurice Lacroix for me. Pure class and more versatile.

·

Visually I prefer the LV, but the Minerva movement in the ML is intriguing. Not sure how much value that offers to you, but definitely a consideration. The B&R design language doesn’t appeal to me at all

·

Louis Vuitton 👌👌

·

All 3 are interesting and I like where you are adventuring. ML is leader, Bell & Ross second, LV third.

·

LV always

·

B&R

·

The ML for certain. The precious metal case makes it the winner. If it were just appearance, I would choose the Bell & Ross, but more goes into the decission. And that LV is just butt ugly, imho, no offense meant if you like it but YUCK!

I just went back and took another look and the B&R has been "gotten into" by somebody. tI could be a servicing and the watchmaker just didn't allign the screws properly on the dial side so I doubt it was B&R that went in. B&R use sex bolts for these connections and are rather picky about alligning the screw slots so they are on axis with the center of the dial. Something Hublot does not do. 😉

All are pre loved, and about the same price... so actually I could even gain if I sell later

Ok... just pulled the trigger, ML is the winner...2 reasons, the watxh by itself, the movement (it's a Venus, not Minerva), 18 k case, límited edition of 100 and the 2nd... price, should have been 3x more expensive. May arrive in about a week.

Yes... the B&R has been through a mediocre service, if bought, at some point I would take it for another service and be sure that the alignment was done properly

It's already in the bank... I want it in my wrist

My personal taste leans to the Maurice Lacroix for its classic design and proportions.
