Both watches are 40' in diameter so suit your wrist.

The extra on the Longines is the chrono so if you have no use for it, you can save some money (I guess) by getting the ML

Spicediablo, the ML I featured might not be suitable for you tho as it is 44' (I think) but for sheer simplicity in a GMT watch which has day/nite function and date, this ML wins hands down.

congrats on the new catch.

is the middle subdialof the Longines an independent second time zone display or a 24hr indicator?

My concern is Maurice doesn't have the heritage and I bought this watch as part of my collection. Lastly, Maurice price is way higher compared to Longines.

That is what prompted me to lean to Longines at last. I like ML design too but the price doesn't justify. Most importantly, they are lacking the heritage.
