Thoughts on Maurice Lacroix...

eh. derivative designs, cheap movements, nothing really interesting. their new chrono might be decent, i haven't gotten a chance to check it out yet.
if you love one, get it, but in general i think you could do better for your money.

That being said, if you love it, get it. It's just a watch. It's just good to know what it is you're buying.

do not get me wrong, i'm not a big in-house movement snob. the fact is that NO ONE makes a truly in-house movement. There is nothing wrong with taking something that works well and is easily serviced and using it. BUT, there are good movements and bad. The GP bases are very nice, as are the JLC, Lemania, and a few others. The ETA stuff is the super cheap way to go.

I'm looking for something presentable and non-sporty. Yes, something classic/dressy. I'm not a big fan of trendy watches either, i.e. Panerai/Rolex/Breitling... It will be a grad gift from me, to me, for finishing up law school. Budget around 5-6k.
