Oi, this time, i feel like you are my truly comrade, knew you through the Seiko tank video, subbed because you also featured the Tissot Le Locle, the watch i was gifted by my wife, and now this Maurice Lacroix that im planning on buying it. Cheer mate!
@@WristDistractions good choice!, i was also very indecisive between the Le Locle and PRX when my wife told me she would gift me a watch. But i chose Le Locle at last .
Honestly.. i never thought so too.. i think it’s something that can’t be fixed unless the anti reflective coating is reapplied. Quite sad that this happened. I think Bark&Jack mentioned this on his SMP300 too.
@@WristDistractions You should be able to replace the sapphire with a new piece at the AD. Most watches allow for that, given that ML will provide the part. Plenty of manufacturers do. Worth a visit at the shop me thinks
there is actually one more way to avoid this is that you can install a tempered glass or mineral glass for face of the watch even though it's shappire, i did what all of my watch - apply another protection over the face of the watch.
@@WristDistractions no I am not a brand only guy, though I do appreciate history of course.. I have not handled either of the watches, so it’s very hard for me to know. Also, I really like how tudor holds its resale value. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate the help.
If you worry about resale value then i think you need not hesitate and just go with the tudor. ML Aikon has no resale value but it also means that you can get it cheap off 2nd hand. Which becomes a even greater deal.
both are superb contenders, if you worry about price I think the PRX is more friendly. It does use pretty good movement too. But the finishing on the Aikon is also quite alluring. It's a tough one.
Had no idea that this watch had AR coating on top of the crystal. Never understood why brands do that because it can scratch and start to look unsightly. It’s a beautiful watch nonetheless.
@@EssenceOfTrance yes I researched it and there are videos of how to do it on RUclips. Doesn’t seem that difficult and it eliminates the whole issue of a foggy looking crystal.
Very very weird, I have same but bigger model with chronograph AI6038, other than small scratches on bracelet nothing happened, and I was swimming in them in ocean, just a good watch
Outside AR counting is a disgrace on all brands, they should stop doing this. Seiko and Grand Seiko only use inside AR coating because they know this problem.
I have this watch now one year and already destroyed. After buying this watch (leather) strap don't stay in place and watch falls from wrist on the floor. This happened more than 10 times and only the glass is in tact, the whole body is scratched. I bought an other bracelet, the one from stainless steal, and after one year! A pice is missing in the band (just let loose) and now there is a hole in the bracelet. I complained at my jewellery store where I buy this watch and guess what! I needed to pay for the shipping costs to sent the watch to Germany. NO repair No exchange and NO contact possible with Maurice Lacroix about warranty after they sent it back to me. People never buy this watch for that ridiculous Price.

Woah! Thanks for your support! I think we do have very very similar taste! haha glad to have you on board!
i'm glad to see someone on the internet has the exact same taste as mine too :))
Very very similar indeed! 😃👍🏻 next watch i’m looking at Tissot PRX
@@WristDistractions good choice!, i was also very indecisive between the Le Locle and PRX when my wife told me she would gift me a watch. But i chose Le Locle at last .
Thank you for your honest opinion. I like the watch very much, but I wouldn't have thought that the glass would look like this over time.

Didn’t anyone else check for a bird in their room
Hahahaha! My dad love birds
I find the power reserve to be on the lower side. it's prolly less than 24 hours actually. what do you think?
Impossible
Tell me, my wrist is 19.5 centimeters, will they be too small for me? How long does this Maurice Lacroix strap last?
Doubt so, it should fit fine.
Strap last? Forever?
How much is it?
You can check their retail price on their website
How about the weight? It's 180g . Pretty heavy
Tbh it’s well balanced
I’m in between this watch and the Tudor royal .. I don’t know what to do .. ? Any suggestions
Are you a brand guy? For me, i’ll pick the Aikon any time! It’s a very beautiful piece and for me better than a Royal

I'm between this and the PRX Automatic
both are superb contenders, if you worry about price I think the PRX is more friendly. It does use pretty good movement too. But the finishing on the Aikon is also quite alluring. It's a tough one.
in my opinion PRX is like Toyota and MLA is like Lexus @@WristDistractions
I’m planning to buy one too !
Congrats!!
Is this 42 or 39 size? Nice video👌
42!
Very Very nice Video! 👍🤙🏻
Thank you sir!

Yeah i honestly wasn't aware, it does look like there's a water mark which is pretty irritating.. another watch similar is the omega seamaster!
@@WristDistractions IIRC, you can quite easily get rid of the AR coating on the on the outside. I haven't done it before though.

And the sinn556i

Super value for money piece! Totally agree
my wrist is 6.6inc * 17cm. 39 mm is better for me in my opinion

Seiko and Grand Seiko only use inside AR coating because they know this problem.
@@user-lh8ql5zr5e indeed! I love my watches without finger prints so i will naturally wipe them more.. it’s sad to see the patches of faded outer AR
