I wipe it with the IWC cleaning cloth after wearing, before putting it back in the box.
Every now and then, when I'm feeling very free, I'll remove the the watch head and brush it with a soft toothbrush under running water.
Bracelets get similar treatment too.
Seems to work so far for me laugh.gif

Hi guys,

I am thinking to get this Maurice Lacroix le classiques chronograph. I am still a bit reserved about Maurice Lacroix as it is not as famous as others on the same range like Tag Heuer. But comparably, it's much cheaper than the Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono.

Would appreciate to get some inputs from everyone here.

I heard that Maurice provide most of the Swiss made mechanise out there.
And this brand is so rich with its brand .very good brand indeed

Why is the Tag not much loved? Over priced?

Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece and Pontos series is one of the cheapest Swiss in-house movement you'll get in the market. Jaeger-Le-Coulter is the next in line for that title.

Good choice if one ever get ML (only the Masterpiece and Pontos series).

The above series starts around RM 20K.

cause less knowledgeable trendy boys tend to wear it...
yes its a cruel generalization... but im sure there are some good people still opt for TAG...

But yea if ones doesn't care what others think go right ahead...
if one does, then i expect a counter argument to my statement from such fellas.

i guess for ML depends on which yr.
not sure how much is still ETA based, but even currently the entry level pontos day date uses ETA.

I used to own a pontos rectangulare chronograph.
Movement is a 7750.
Nice watch.
Retail for pontos starts at 7000 for normal date and time watches but i understand that you can get decent discounts.
As for masterpiece collection, only some are run on in house movements... Not all.
I find their designs fresh and modern... Young watch company but i like the way they're heading.
