need help deciding

I was in the market for a rose gold piece and recently tried on this maurice lacroix chronograph. but then I recently discovered an audmar piguet in stainless online that I am in love with. I can't make up mind what do you guys think?

Welcome to TRF.

Only you can answer your question. You have to try them both on. Whichever makes you smile more is the one you should get.

It does depend on your personal tastes indeed, I must admit that those two timepieces are beautiful but the ML chronograph has to get my vote, it looks very classy.

Have you seen the new SIHH releases? The Clifton line is very classy.

thanks everyone on their input. my dilemma really lies in the issue that this watch will hopefully be handed down as an heirloom and after reading a write up about fads and parts being hard to come by later on it had me second guessing myself. The AP is definitely unique and the design is typically found on much higher priced pieces. the maurice lacroix is more subtle and like most have said has a more classic design. but i'm unsure the future of maurice lacroix as they seem to have been changing a lot in the upper ranks of their company and this piece is limited to 250 which may make parts difficult to find. The AP is very unique and I'm not sure if it will look dated. I'm really driving myself nuts going back in forth...i just don't want to have buyers remorse on a purchase this large.
