I ordered another Laco..

[leslie]

I think JW can, but don't think the prices will be cheap! Sh*t! Should have asked Laco to make special orders before shipping to Singapore, hehe. Ok, back to the topic...not trying to knock the miyota versions but the non sandblasted casing makes it look less 'authentic' than its swiss movement brothers. I think having the miyota casing and buckle sandblasted will do the trick!

bro..if it comes up with the same price as a ETA version after modifications.. might as well buy an eta then close case liao? hahaha

[toffeesthings]

This is back on track as we OT far far away liao.....

Never tot of that b4 as i dun like to do self modification on the watch......

Ah, but if Laco offered a sand-blasted miyota casing for say 50euros more, I think it'll be a hot seller! Then more of us bros will be poisoned! Look what happened to Bro Yoda now!

[leslie]

Bro. Sand blasted looks much better. My eta version with sapphire plus blue hands. Look at certain angle really very nice and shiny.

Hot seller by offering this for 50 euros more but they might end up losing more if all go for the miyota and no one want their ETA. After all they are there to do business so i dun think they will do that........

I doubt they would too but they might not lose more business. Laco has probably factored in that the Miyota versions could cannibalize their traditional sales somewhat but the purists will still go for the ETA versions, so I think they are reaching out to different market segments; the casual pilot fan and the military purist.

[leslie]

And also the miyotas are using the modern flieger lugs pattern. Still looks different comparing to the original leh.

Haha! Ok, side-track a little...anyone had thoughts of getting their Laco miyota casings sand-blasted to resemble the ETA/55mm versions? I reckon it'll look even cooler!

Ok! Paging for bro toffee...

[Oceanklassik]

Thanks bro.. 45mm is very nice indeed but cost alot more.. I think EUR$200?

Laco got 45mm meh? I think it will look nicer if given a choice.

got 45mm eta based one lor.. on the first page of laco store..

Got 45mm A and B dial, but only comes with hand winding. Cost should be around SGD1050 before GST.

Yes, there is a 45mm version in Type A & B and it comes only in ETA-manual winding movements. I think Timekeeper is selling it at $1,280. Whether got discount or not I don't know.

Whoever is interested can PM me. I think a friend of mine has one and intending to sell it

Nice pilot watches

[toffeesthings]

Nice Laco and Ball master Yoda!
Oh, bros, another good brand known historically for pilot watches will be Hanhart.
They're not very well-known but their pieces look really good too! : )
