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.

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.

Rollie is a mugging magnet.

Mako, Monster, Mudman or the G-Series for everyday work.

Pontos, MasterPiece, Tagente or slightly up the ante: Reverso or Master Compressor for more refined occasion.

Calatrava, Nautilus, Altiplano or Saxony as heirloom. Remember the cheesy tagline "You don't own a XXXXX, you look after it for the next generation".

It's only a mugging magnet when wear those full gold, diamond blinged out models.
Other than that, stainless steel datejusts, air kings, precision models are hardly noticeable at all.
And with the amount of fakes out there, the mugger won't even know if the guy wearing the watch is a genuine or a fake one.
Better stick with paper currency if they wanna mug...
