    Re: LACO Pilot Update

    The response has been very positive including the emails I have received. So far 20 of us have shown interest in the Laco LE.

    One clarification, it will be a solid caseback with LE engraving

    I will go back to Mr. Pfeiffer with the following suggestions and provide you with his response:

    - Clear choices and availability for the movement
    - onion crown
    - Estimated time

    Cheers,
    Bhanu

    Re: LACO Pilot Update

    I like it - everything about it - the specs, the design, the movement, and the price. My compliments and please count me as a comer. What is the time frame? Bryan

    The original movents found in the B-Uhr did have a stop/hack seconds. It was part of the requirements from the German Luftwaffe.

    Here is link to a list of features from the B-Uhr.

    The original B-Uhr had a hacking mpvement. Being a navigation watch, exact time measurement was of the utmost importance, hence a hacking feature was required by the RLM in its spec. The pocket-watch movements used were specifically modified to provide the hacking mechanism. It's part of the very essence of this watch.

    Therefore, for me: no hack, no go.

    Edit: sorry Todd, saw your reply too late. The forum glitches due to the hacker attack are still wreaking havoc for me ...

    Baumuster A ist historical correct for a Stowa Flieger, Baumuster B is historically correct for a Laco. For me there's no doubt at all that a Laco custom made Flieger has to have toe Baumuster B dial.

    Please count me in for this LACO.

    Regards

    Name a manual wind movement with center second which does not need any price increasing modification (like the Unitas 6497, 6498, Peseux 7001 would) and will fit into the price limit.

    Sorry all :oops:! I had to check on my own Laco 55mm. It sure has a hacking movement! I stupidly forgot, a sure sign of getting old!
