I just got a hard to sell watch and i am happy

[willy]

Well i did it.I just treated myself to a watch i never ever thought i would buy.But i got a good deal even if i will have a hell of a job to sell it again.The watch is a Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique GMT Titanium Limited to one thousand edition.And i am very happy.
It won the Red Dot design award in 2007 when it was first released.I saw this watch for the first time about 3 years ago and i could not forget it.But i dismissed it at the time because no way would i pay 40000kr for a ML watch.But as usual with ML the prices went down and i got the chance to get this watch for a good price.
It is made of grade 2 titanium and the case work is outstanding.We are in the class of IWC-JLC here,it is quite exceptional.The caliber is a reworked Sellita SW.200.And from what i have read about it,is finished to about the same standard as an Omega coaxil caliber.But the bridges are plated in black gold and it is decorated by hand.
The dial is the point of this watch.Pictures do not do it justice,it is beautiful.The way the elements catch the light and change colour is amazing for a watch in this price range.But at the same time very easy to read.The small dial on the face is the GMT time that is set by the button next to the winding crown.The small dial also has the sun and moon indicator.The date is very cleverly intregated into the dial at the 6 position.
Lets be clear this is not a high end watch and it does not pretend to be.But it shows up many big name brands who do not dare to do something different.It comes in a huge box with rubber and croc straps.The strap is quick change by the way.It is a big watch 46mm and it wears big because the glass area is so big on this watch.It is comfortable to wear for me,and it does not move around on my wrist.I have only had this watch for a short time,so i will have to get back to you all when i find any faults with it.And right now i do not care if i cannot sell it again Willy

Hej Willy

Stort tillykke med uret <!-- s:up: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_Up.gif" alt=":up:" title="Thumps up" /><!-- s:up: -->. Dit link virker desværre ikke. Jeg har dog googlet uret og det ser rigtigt spændende ud!

Måtte også google, og det ser spændende ud.
Cool at se noget anderledes <!-- s:up: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_Up.gif" alt=":up:" title="Thumps up" /><!-- s:up: -->

Men få nu sønnen til at hjælpe med lidt billeder.
Du kan bare maile dem til mig, så skal jeg nok ligge dem op.

Hej Willy,
Tillykke med uret!
Da jeg ved du er en stor tilhænger af at man siger sin mening vil jeg, med respekt for at andres smag/mening er forskellige, sige min:
Jeg kan ikke lide den alt for travle skive. Skiven minder mig mest alt om et-eller-andet astronomisk måleinstrument.
At lave dress ur i 46mm, synes jeg heller ikke om. Titanium er heller ikke min kop te! Jeg har dog ikke set uret IRL, så jeg baserer min mening på billeder og det visuelle.

Om det koster 40,30 eller 20k er et fedt for mig; jeg forstår hvorfor det er så svært at sælge igen. Jeg ville foretrække et IWC istedet, hvilket siger meget, for de har heller aldrig talt til mig.
Men: To each, his own! Og respekt for det.
Det er vist første gang jeg ytrer mig om et ur, som jeg absolut synes er en ommer, men jeg ved du kan tåle andres ærlige mening.

No pun intended!

Hi Sub, I can see your point it is a bit to big for a dress watch.To be honest i would have prefered it was 40-42.The dial in real life is not busy at all,i was supprised it is easy to read.It won the red dot prize because of the light elements in the dial.But you have to see it in real life.I hate complicated dials in watches but this is simple.I have had a few Portuguese watches,beautiful and great dress watches.This is not in the same class at all.I would not call it a dress watch it is more a well built novelty, and a great looking watch.You know sometimes you get fed up with looking at the same watches day in day out.This watch is therapy for me Willy
