Hey there! Welcome back to the channel.
A month ago I placed a deposit for this special watch which I have been consistently looking and researching on. I've seen so much of it on social media and forums talking about how great and well made the watch is. Weeks later, I received the phone call and I went down to collect my watch. Honestly, my mind was blown! This was is incredible. As you guys know I own a Steinhart and I always love to share how well built the watch is with comparison to its price. The Aikon is closely similar, but this time, I have no complaints. The dials, the bezel, the crown, the case back, the water resistance, the bracelet, the clasp, the easy changeable bracelet, I really love this watch! I'm so glad that I am given the opportunity to purchase due to the fact that a major AD I would love to support has decided to stop selling them. Was lucky and hasty enough to purchase this piece, thanks to a buddy of mine. So far before this video was made, I constantly look at the bracelet and the dial. I never stop. I guess I'm really in love with this piece. There are also several colours and sizes to choose from so not to worry you will find one that suits you the most. Anyways, if you have any questions do not hesitate to drop them down in the comments sections. I would love to answer them if possible. Thanks for dropping by, Cheers!

If you worry too much of depreciation i suggest you don't even buy the watch and stick to rollie, ap or pp. But if you're okay! Then i think ML is a good buy :)

I got the watch brand new from a real dealer for 1150€. First Rule on Maurice Lacroix Watches in my mind, is to never buy it for the whole price. For "just 1K" it is a super watch!

Awesome Unboxing great quality! Im guessing this is the 42mm. Ive been considering to buy this Watch since a couple of month. Im not sure if my wrist is big enough for this watch. What would you say is the minimum wrist size for this Watch?
@WristDistractions
@WristDistractions 4 года назад
Thank you Berg!! Appreciate you dropping by. Yes, this model is the 42mm Aikon Automatic. For myself, my wrist is roughly about 6.25" so I would recommend anyone with wrist sizes roughly similar to myself. at 7:12, you can see the whole watch wraps nicely on my wrist so any wrist from 6 to 7 should look and wear perfectly.

Well I actually bought myself an Aikon automatic chrono with the blue dial and steel bracelet yesterday. That $ 17.000 leftover change in my wallet feels pretty nice too. Certainly as I could easily afford the AP. Its like the AP is an overpriced homage to the Aikon. Furthermore the Aikon homages the Calypso, a ML line from the 90s.
