So after 41 weeks of owning, I can say it is indeed a wonderful watch and also great looking.
But, needed to contact Maurice Lacroix this weeks since the automatic did stop working...

I thought I would chime in as well. Yes, especially if you are not used to it, 44 mm can seem large. But I have seen it look good on even a 6.5 inch wrist. I wear 44-45 and even as large as 50mm now and then for casual or sport. I have about a 6 7/8" wrist. I even know of a gent with about a 6 1/2" wrist who likes watches of 60mm plus. Yes, they are BIG watches, but he is comfortable wearing them. Even when I have teased him of wearing "Clown Watches", he just laughs and shows me something new he discovered on a dial or watch he recently purchased. So you CAN get acclimated to all sizes. AND, because he is comfortable wearing them, not constantly fidgeting with them, they look ok on him.
The big deal is the movement here. The Eta Valgrange's A07 movement is much more "rare" than the Valjoux 7750. It usually lends at least 200-300$ premium over the 7750 movement regarding the price. Often more for the higher tier "luxury" watches.
It is more on par, price wise, with a 7751-7752 or even some 7754 movements depending on watch brand. ( yes I skipped over the 7753, it is a different price point )
The red: Again, it is a matter of what you like. But, there have been numerous studies done that state wearing the color red WILL get a woman's attention. It is a matter of YOUR comfort level though. It is kind of like wearing diamonds on a watch or bracelet. Personally, I like diamonds on a watch. Mainly if they are on the bezel. or make up the numerals or the "bars" used to designate the numbers on a watch dial. No pave' ( all diamond) dials for me, though many like a pave' dial. I even have and wear a watch that has precious gemstones on the lugs. But. that is about as much of the case I like to have diamonds or precious, semi-precious gemstones on. I DID have to work up to this level of gemstones on a watch though. Once used to it, I love them. Even though I have over 37 years marriage under my belt, it is still flattering that women always notice when I am wearing one of my 3 multi-colored gemstone watches.... including RED Rubies or Sapphires. I by no means mean to seem like I am bragging or saying "Hey, look what I have.". I am just trying to explain that you CAN get used to a color or diamonds/ other gem stones on a watch. If you LIKE the watch except for the red, maybe it is worth a try? I know it opened me up to new perceptions regarding what a watch dial/bezel/case has on it. I have a friend with the initials J.S. to thank for talking me into giving such watches a try. ( <smiles> I figure some of you may recognize those initials, so I included them. )
As to the price of this offering. It isn't bad. I HAVE seen a bit better during some sales. but, if you like the watch, do you want to gamble on finding that sale price? I would seriously consider this if I didn't have two similar. I have the green offering in this exact style. Had the Red been available when I purchased mine.... I personally would have bought the red.
Maurice Lacroix has long been one of my favorite brands. I have 5-6 of them. Some before they went with an "in-house" movement and some after. I can say I have NEVER had an issue with them. I have offerings from the tank style Pontos for dress all the way to some of their chrono offerings. Again, some before and some after in house movements were implemented. The in-houses are as reliable at the older eta movements. Besides the tank (rectangular) cased one for formal dress, my favorite is their newer "in-house" diver. BUT, I have a Masterpiece mechanical that is exquisite.
Respects- John
P.S. - interesting fact. Maurice Lacroix used to use actual silver for their dials. As I understand it, some offerings still have them, but the sport line does not. I will always treasure the time, some years ago, a gent was bragging about his watch at a function. It WAS nice, but a little to "busy" dial wise ( to many functions) . We casually new each other, so he wanted to compare with the resident "Watch Geek". I will never forget the look on his face when I told him MY watch, which was designed for proper dress, had .999% pure silver used for the dial. When I explained his was a type of brass alloy, he shut up.

That watch has way too much red, needs an all black rally strap or even tan would work.

Dear Massdrop,
I really appreciate that you now start proposing more luxury brands when coming to watches. Could you however please consider proposing watches the fit human wrists, and not only horse wrists? Joke aside and no offense to people with large wrists I hope, Massdrop seems to have a tendency to propose mostly 44 mm and + watches these days. This is not very practical, and goes contrary to the recent tendency of going back to more reasonable sizes.
I would therefore REALLY be grateful if you could start proposing more watches of quality in the 38 to 42 mm section. If I can push the request further, please don't hesitate to make it a watch with a retro look, possibly a dive-watch, which has a brand starting with the letter o (I love o) and has 65 in its model name. I'll stop here as I wouldn't want to be too specific in my request :p But sweet Mary, that would be a drop on a more expensive watch that would surely get TONS of joins!!
Thanks for the efforts!

For USD1850 I'll want a date wheel with the SAME FONT of the rest of the dial.

Are there any additional warranty options on this? 1 year seems a bit short for this watch class. Can someone from MD get back to me on this? Thanks.
