My vice-parents gave me a gold, automatic, center seconds and date Maurice Lacroix in 1990, for finishing school and passing the public examinations to become a specialist. I've used it a lot, on a daily basis for five years when I received it, then from time to time. Wife used it for a whole year like two years ago, it's a small watch like 32mm or so, specially for modern standards. I've replaced its lizard strap like three times, so you get the idea of the use it's received.
Last week has been the first time I took it for servicing in more than twenty years, because the watch run, but behind for about a minute/day which is far from normal. They say it's mostly OK but that one of the gears is worn out and needs replacement, also the bearing--of the flywheel I guess--. Not bad at all for a "second or third tier" mechanical watch.
I agree with Jacob, Maurice Lacroix received a bad consideration for making affordable quartz watches, but their mechanical ones and their design are pretty good. Still some snobs will look at it over the shoulder with disdain.
