    One good thing about Laco is that their pricing are reasonable. So why lose sleep over it, just buy 2 and have double enjoyment over it :P.

      Buyers need to consider the pros and cons, and specification.

      Auto ETA = 25 Jewels (more resistant to wear and tear), accuracy may be less accurate than manual.
      Manual winding = 17 Jewels, (less resistant to wear and tear), accuracy is there but need to wind daily which over the long run might cause the crown and gears to wear and tear which need servicing.

      Most of my watches are ETA auto. Manual too troublesome. But of course as for the size 42mm or 45mm, it depend on the person wrist. Just personal opinion. :-0 Cheers

      • Actually both auto and manual also same shape and size.. Just see whether are you those that enjoy winding.. or those that always forgot to wind up watches.. hehe

        • I guess it also depend whether you intend to be serious in collecting pilot watches, if yes no doubt will be manual wind. In olden days no ETA right (correct me if i'm wrong) . For me I collect whatever my head & heart & wallet tells me to. But don't forget it is the neck(wife) that turns the head :P.

            Accuracy of watch is first of all down to the adjustment of the movement during the manufacturing process. When worn and used, in general automatic movement is more accurate than manual, as the mainspring of an automatic movement is always fully or close to fully wound most of the time - that is if you wear it daily.

              • Congratulations on your acqusition Bro Ocean! Doesn't matter if it is new or used. As Dr. Bernard Cheong once said, "Buy new, buy used but always buy you!"
                The 45mm looks a tad large (as it should) but awesome on your wrist. Now you just have to grow some hair, hahaha! (Just kidding, no offence intended!)

                    None taken. No worries

                    I was hesitating if I should get it at 45/42mm due to my slim (non-hairy) wrist. I was fortunate enough to get to try the 45mm out before I decide and it fits well. Then it was about getting it new/pre-owned but what the hack. The 45mm was right in front of me there & then; watch condition is terrific; price is reasonable and seller is marvelously friendly. So here it is



                    Tx to all who had given me the advice

                        Hehe, it was a very good decision that he made. The elusive 45mm! Now Bro Ocean's dilemma is deciding on getting the Type B and when he does decide, what size again, hahahaha!

                          Very highly likely, it is gonna be a 45mm Type B (if I ever want to get one) ..
