I’ve been after an automatic B-Uhr for a while, and when this Laco popped up, unused, at slightly less than half price, I decided to go for it.

The movement is a Laco 04, which apparently is a decorated ETA 2804.

Apologies for the crappy pics which are from the sales site.

Choosing my first proper watch, I went in to try a Speedmaster and the kind lady offered me this, which I’m told is quite hard to get hold of. I was surprised but was told it came in yesterday and was available. I sort of liked it, but it’s a bit understated. I understand there’s a high opinion of the Date Just so I’m going to give It some thought.



What do you reckon?

They are getting difficult to obtain - I’m thinking that’s my next watch, but with the fluted bezel and jubilee - unsure of the colour but blue looks very nice

EFA: the steel models are usually on a list (as is my experience) you’ll find the bimetal versions in each size are probably the most stocked Rolex in any given AD

Thank you. Vendor's picture: I will polish the hesalite crystal and then ask Joe Horner to service it for me. I have that many broken watches / projects / collection pieces that are too good not to give a birthday service, that it will be worth my time driving over and delivering them in person.

I like these.

That movement looks like the Miyota movement and the dial look like one from the low cost range?

Always liked the look of those, less shiny and more subtle than a lot of their other offerings.

Very nice.
As stated less Bright Bling than most Breitlings and not a Rolex style knock off.
Rather lovely.

i like those superocean heritages. Tried one on in canary wharf a while back. However i do wish they wouldn't make the metal such a bright finish.
