looking at a maurice lacroix rose gold chronograph and an IWC Portuguese chronograph. I know maurice lacroix has had a complicated past with their quartz movements but this one seems a step above and something comparable I think would cost 3 times as much. Just curious what everyone's opinion is on these two. I can get the maurice lacroix for 65 off list.

I would go for the IWC, its a great classic looking watch (as well as resale value... if you ever did decide to sell, not that should be a consideration when buying a watch :shock: )

The ML is a very nice watch... but faced with that choice I'm firmly in the IWC camp :-)

Of course you should get the watch YOU want... not the one we want ;-)

IWC for me too. for me watches need to have good resale value.

Not at all... it's a very nice watch!

But comparing it to the IWC Portugese is a tough challenge for the ML :)

Too bling for me, since you ask.

I'm in the IWC camp therefore.

ML looks better from the back. Solid piece, but can't hold a candle to the IWC.

thanks everyone for their input. I was just curious as the people on the IWC boards seem to be split they love the look but many are complaining about quality control and customer service.

IWC all the way. I'd love to have one and everyone I know who does brags about how awesome they are.
