    All of them will be a good pick. I think there is no right or wrong answer here!

    But if you ask me, personally I would pick the Aikon (At a resale price around 1500±)

    The pros

    • It has an SW automatic movement a well known mechanical movement. Not necessarily a good nor a bad movement but I would pick a mechanical “swiss made” movement over a Japanese quartz or mechanical (As a “first” luxury watch I lean towards swiss watch, nothing wrong with the Japanese movement tho) -the design are very eye catching and I think It looks great with rubber strap, leather strap, and a bracelet. As a first which I would assume you won’t buy a second anytime soon, having a watch that look good with any strap is a plus (totally subjective tho)

    The cons -some watches enthusiasts or anyone who knows about watches on a surface level will mistake the Aikon for an AP, which can be annoying at times -Maurice Lacroix. The brand doesn’t have as much heritage as the other 3 -the sticker prices are too high!
