Siao liao.. I kenna the pilot watch poisoning liao.. As you guys probably seen my thread 1 month ago which I've ordered a Laco Miyota from Germany.. I've just started wearing it yesterday and like it so much that I ordered another Laco 42mm B Dial ETA 2801 manual winding.. But this one cost me $700 plus liao..

And so far the Miyota is running very well..

No there isn't. If I remember correctly bro leslie ordered from Laco online shop the last time. You could order from Timekeeper too, also online.

Oh! Then how to feel the watch before I buy? Based on photos only? Hmm...

The site sponsor is the Timekeeper that I meantioned. JW used to be the AD for Laco but no longer is - might still have some old stock or preowned pieces (?).

Congratulations Bro Leslie!

Bro Yoda,
Buy from German Timekeeper or buy from Laco shop, the price of the Miyota movements are very fair but do note that the casing for the ETA and Miyota 42mms are different. Naturally, the ETA movement's casing is more faithful to the original.

Haha, don't say that lah, just sharing what I know about my Laco experiences; which isn't much...

Thanks all bros for the advice...
If order direct from German, how to service if required?
A bit troublesome leh.

[Oceanklassik]

I think servicing should not be too much of a problem because the movement is generic. JW is one option.

How much JW charge for servicing bro?
How about repairs if under warranty? A hassle to send back to German right?
Sorry noob about this cos just picked up this hobby. A lot more to learn from the gurus here.
