The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I was in the market for a rose gold piece and recently tried on this maurice lacroix chronograph. but then I recently discovered an audmar piguet in stainless online that I am in love with. I can't make up mind what do you guys think?

Certainly unusual.

I think the ML is a little too conservative for me, but the AP is something I would need special glass for. I will back to my Optometrist every month for a check up if I wore this.

The ML is definitely a usable watch and if the expressed notion of wearing a watch is to easily see the time then I think this one fulfils that function well. If it’s a fashion statement or something completely different that you are after, then the AP is the one. It’s a very confusing dial though, but I could imagine this being a real talking piece.

In the end, it’s what you think is the best watch for you, that matter.

Whilst I'd normally pick the AP... for me the ML is the winner here. The AP is just far too odd and difficult to read. I can see loving it for a short time, but not wanting to hold onto it indefinitely.

The ML is obviously more conservative and timeless.

Between those two, I prefer the ML. The AP is to "unique" for my tastes, but I have a sneaking suspicion Roff will like it .

I'm not sure what the price range is on either of those pieces, but if you wanted something that bridges the gap, Glashutte Original makes some elegant, yet interesting pieces.

Those are two rather polar-opposite designs there! The ultra conservative ML, vs the very unique AP.

Personally I'd go for the AP every time....... but that's probably because I have enough other more conservative pieces to fill the conservative slot in my collection. For an everyday (or single) watch the AP may be slightly harder to live with...... but I probably would do for that design, and to own a piece by such a legendary brand.
