Wrist check 2021
Discussion
Still waiting for the Stowa to be made/shipped so in the meantime been wearing the balls off the Laco. For the £460 it cost with the optional upgrades, have to say it is exceptional value for money for the spec and quality you are getting. I think the clasification by Laco puts people off as it's labelled as a "Pilot Watch Basic", the basic refers to the movement being a Miyota as opposed to the ETA/Selita used in the bigger models. I guess it's perception when seeing the word basic?
Anyway, gifs show it better than stills so...
Having sold both Baltics I now have no dive watches for for the first time ever don't miss a diver at all because the pilot watches in <39mm are so different to the norm.

Every time I see a photo of one of these I kick myself for getting rid of mine.I think this could be the only watch I buy twice (Daytona excepting)
It's the 126660 version and still has all it's stickers and tags on it, just because I never got round to removing them. Its a shame really but I live in the hope that I'll be able to wear it eventually...
That looks like a 44/45mm? There's so many I like but the size is just too big for me which makes me sad
Have you had it long and has it been in for a service? I ask because with the ETA movement parts supply chain being restricted to the Swatch group only, it seems like servicing these is on the way to being a right pain in years to come unless you send it back to Laco each time who will no doubt have parts stocked up in-house.
And yes, it has to be done

The Laco is fabulous. I'm thinking about a pair now! One each for myself and my good lady as she only wears men's watches. Plus I get what I want without complaint!
Hang on a sec you can get a watch as long as she does to? You have hit the jackpot And yes, it has to be done

I'm to be on it next week! I've flirted the image 'accidentally'. Mrs TH likes. Have you had it long and has it been in for a service?

That's a great looking watch.Liked the look of that ever since I've seen my colleague's SARB033. I like how simple it is and all the focus is on the dial instead of a bezel.

Why don't you wear it more often? I never take mine off....
Have other watches I also enjoy, and generally favour a diver most of the time at home. When I'm in the office I wear a smart shirt, so tend to wear this or a dress watch. Trouble is, I haven't been to the office since the autumn. Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
