Well I was able to find a good watch over the weekend and got a pretty good deal on it too.
It's last year's Maurice Lacroix Pontos Chronographe PT7548-SS001-130. As far as I know last years' model has the same movement but slightly different styling.
When I was looking at the online pics I was leaning towards the black dials, but in person the silver dials with leather straps were my favs.
Retail price was $2495.00, I paid $1750 which is 30% less, and I didn't have to pay tax.
The best price I got on a Carrera was 25% off but had to pay tax which would have cost me ~$2600, about $850 more then the ML. In my opinion the ML is nicer and little dressier. With that being said, I think my next watch will probably be the Grand Carrera!!:excited:
BTW, I ran across a couple of ML dealers that were clearing their inventory because ML recently jacked up their pricess from the $1,000-$3,000 range to the $3,000-$10,000 range.
For Comparison, this is the current Pontos:
Thanks to all of you that help out with my decision making, much appreciated!!
