Maurice Lacroix MasterPiece Gravity (LE 1 of 250) MP6118-PVB01-330-1

Description: THE SELLERIf you’re active in the watch community, you will have no doubt heard the phrase, “buy the seller”. Thus, it seems fitting to start here with a small introduction.I guess I would refer to myself as a collector and enthusiast. I got into watches, in a big way,7 years ago. Since then I’ve learned a great deal. I’ve watched countless YouTube videos, spent hours on forums, and visited untold number of AD’s and boutiques around the world. I’ve been to live watch events and talked at length with other fellow community members. I’ve had the privilege of experiencing hundreds of watches first-hand, across many types, brands, and price points.Throughout this journey, I have purchased more than 120 watches for my collection, selling nearly100 of these watches on to new homes. Being party to well over 200 watch transactions, I think it is fair to say I’ve got some experience. I try to sell watches the way I would like other sellers to do when I am the buyer. I try to make sure that the pictures I provide are above-average, thereby allowing one to get a good look at the cosmetic condition. If I know there are flaws beyond very light normal wear, I will disclose it. If I know of mechanical issues, I will disclose it. Nearing 100 sales, I have yet to hear from anyone who was disappointed with the watch they received. As a result of this selling approach, I have earned perfect feedback here on eBay and also the Watchuseek platform. Until Chrono24 implements feedback for private sellers, you will have to take my word for it, but there are dozens and dozens of happy buyers there too. THE WATCHMaurice Lacroix MasterPiece Gravity(LE 1 of 250)MP6118-PVB01-330-1I purchased this watch brand new in2022. It was likely new old stock since the watch debuted a number of years earlier.I’m on the fence about selling this one. The collection needs a bit of a diet and this is one of the pieces I could manage to live withoutComes full set, box and papers.There is no warranty left. ConditionThe watch is in virtually new condition. The black DLC case is tough as nails, and I keep all my watches in new condition. As such, I think this watch looks exactly the same as it did the day it was created. Even the strap is still new as the watch spent its time on an after-market strap. You literally will not find a nicer example of this watch.As an added bonus, the watch underwent ML factory service in 2023. The lubrication had degraded sitting so long from manufacture to sale that the second hand started lagging a little. The watch was still under warranty, so was sent back to Switzerland for service. When I say you won’t find a nicer example of this watch, that includes the cosmetic as well as the mechanical aspects. My ImpressionsIt is an outstanding watch, truly. I’m going to talk myself out of selling it while I write this description. I have 2 other ML MasterPiece and there is a LOT of watch for the money in this line. With only 250 of these DLC Gravity, you won’t run into someone else wearing this watch at your next BBQ! If you’re into strap swapping, the colors make it the ideal candidate. The look is true high horology. The Greubel Forsey Signature 1 could have taken some of its design from the Gravity. Buy the Gravity instead and have enough left over for vacation home!

I price my watches just a little below what you would pay at a reputable dealer for a similar watch (age, condition, completeness), realizing that buyers are going to want a small negative premium to buy from a lesser known entity. However, I also balance that with the knowledge that my watches are almost always in “very good” to “like new” condition, and may in fact be as nice, or nicer, than you would find at many dealers. I’ve seen dealers in North America list a watch as “very good” condition when the photos clearly show a watch that looks like someone fished it out of a running garburator. There are many times when the private seller is much more transparent than the dealer, so I feel there are times when a private seller deserves top dollar for their piece.I do consider offers. The market is constantly changing so sometimes a case can be made for a lower price, though not always. I’m happy to discuss reasonable offers. That said, making a two-thirds of asking price offer, then sending me a “comparable listing” for a watch being sold by a no feedback account from Moldova is not going to persuade me (yes, I’ve had this approach from a perspective buyers in the past).Also of note, you will likely find this watch listed on other platforms. This, as several buyers over the years have wrongly suggested, is not indicative of shadiness. It is merely a way to reach a wider pool of buyers. Once funds have cleared, I will be removing all other listings.You might also notice that pricing differs from platform to platform. This has to do with different commissions. They can range from 0% on a watch forum to 13% on a popular auction site. Feel free to choose the platform you’re comfortable with, just know that the final price will reflect it.Any questions, feel free to ask.
