jpz5142 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I guess it's just like we always say, if you like it then go for it! Otherwise for the specs it appears to be priced in the same range as other chronos. It's hard to tell if it is the month at 4:30 or the day. In the pic it looks like it says OCT or October but could be wrong. For some comparables check out the Tag Link Chrono (my personal fav): or the Tag Carrera Chrono a bit sportier: If your really flush check out the offerings from Zenith: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archierocks Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 for that id money buy the tudor black bay first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Like the BB ($800 more give or take)but I am just stocked with nice divers gen and plenty of rep some vintage that cover that style very light on chronos as I hate busy dials can not read well. This one with large Arabic numbers looks to be a fairly easy reader for a chrono the Carrera looks to be an easy read also let me check price point.

Mike on a bike Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Around $3200 was the best I could find on Carrera, Link doable on price but the bracelet new from TAG only 6 inches to small. What are these for college kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archierocks Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 tbh i do like it i like the little tone of blue on the hands sets the dial off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Around $3200 was the best I could find on Carrera, Link doable on price but the bracelet new from TAG only 6 inches to small. What are these for college kids! True, but Link would look good on a strap. Carrera is a bit more pricey but looks a bit dressier if that's what your after. I figure you'd need to get additional links anyway. FWIW, I hear that the rep links fit the gen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droptopman Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Hi Mike, we have similar taste in the busy dials. Why I generally do not prefer the AP's or Breitlings. I like ML, always liked their work--classy watches. I also like the Carrera jpz posted. At the end of the day not really a chrono fan. Had a gen Daytona a few years ago and never wore it much and sold it. Agree with Archie those hands are pretty awesome and the separate month and date function is unique. That is a beauty.

importr Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I think the ML is really nice. Looks classy, and most of all, different. Go for it Mike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 My main thing here to echo importr is different and although I love Sgt's have seen that one in the flesh I find the flyback a little more sporty and I put on a suit rarely.

panerai153 Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Mike, Maurice Lacroix watches are great. I have had several, and every one of them have been high quality, well made watches. I don't think you will be disappointed in this one. Here is the only one I have leftHere are a couple that have departed. I really regret selling the Reveil Globe, but I needed funds for non-watch related stuff and it had to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 paneria I have seen the one you have left online, not one from cheap seats buddy! Nice................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dazza Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 If I was going for a white dial chrono again it would have to be the Omega Broadarrow with blue markers and blue hands. I had one before and one of my biggest regrets selling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Around $3200 was the best I could find on Carrera Mike, if your interested there is a date version at 41-2mm that can be found for <$3000. Found a white dial on Chrono24 for $2500... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 jp think gonna go with the ML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importr Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 The ML dial, arabics and hands remind me a little of TAG Heuers latest Monza. A classic but totally contemporary look. If only the Monza was bigger. But yeah the more I look at the ML, the more I want one! 42mm is just about right for a white dial watch I think...

Waytall Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Omega had a triple date speedmaster that was really cool with a white dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Well guys bit the bullet and bought it. Yes the Maurice Lacroix they gave me an even better price could not resist! :bangin: or :clap2: depends if the wife finds out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Mike, with as many watches that you have, how would she know? And congrats, a new watch is always exciting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 She looks at the paypal, this one will stick out like a sore thumb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpz5142 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 I was able to get a separate PayPal with a separate credit card. Drives my wife crazy! But I think those days are limited as she is wanting to be on the credit card account so she can "see the balance". Since she is in charge of the bills each month it'll likely have to happen to keep the peace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 This would be my choice for that money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
