New member tuning in

[alex9345]

Hey everyone, new to the forum here. I've been looking at watches for the past three to four months now trying to decide what to get for my first watch. I happened to stumble across a Maurice Lacroix Jours Retrograde for a good price and decided to go with it. Joined the forum to increase my knowledge about watches in preparation for my second watch purchase (hopefully, still in college...). Anyways, I am looking forward to getting to know the forum and the members.

Hi Alex ... and welcome...

What are you considering for your next watch purchase?

Welcome Alex - interesting looking watch

I'm in between getting a World Timer, perhaps the Longines or Maurice Lacroix, or a vintage 18k Girrard Perregaux for a dress watch.

Welcome to the forum . I'm really taken with your Maurice Lacroix with the possible exception of the skeleton bit underneath the Day indicator. The sunrise effect I find to be art-deco in style and I quite like the execution of the big date. ML is a manufacture that I struggle with; probably because they cover quite a bit of the price spectrum and they do have a reputation for chronic depreciation. I understand that yours is nearer the top end of the range; is that right? Since you've managed to figure out the picture thing can you post some more - including a wrist shot?

Heloo, sorry for the late response, I've been out of the country.
Being one of the more pricey Maurice LaCroix's, it does not have an in-house movement. It has a modified eta with the retrograde function put in by ML, the finishing is very nice as well. Here are a few more pictures.
