LACO Pilot Baumuster B Special Edition (Forum Project Wach) - Discussion

[thodgins]

A modified 2824 sounds like a cool idea. I look forward to seeing how this project unfolds.

Sounds terrific. I think a 42mm makes sense. 44mm would be even better, IMHO, but I think that would have less appeal to many. I'm glad I put my name on the list for this watch, sounds great!

[Mescalito]

and what about the blue hands? please don't forget them

and maybe LACO could tell us the expected overall cost...

the rest sounds great, so i'm still in (if the price doesn't explode).

I am in

Count me in, preferably with a solid caseback and acrylic crystal, but I can live with other solutions.
What I'd really like is that all markers are lumed, as the original B-Uhr dials.

.
As it is going to be a hand wound ... I suggest a non-screwing crown.

Modified 2824 sounds like a good solution. Readily available, and it hacks.
I'm in.

Mr. Pfeiffer replied regarding ordering the watch:

We think the best way would be if you can send us a list
of the members to reserve the numbers. For sending the
watches we will need:
- The complete address + telefon number.
- We will also need the e-mail address for sending the proforma
invoice. This proforma invoice will show the number of the watch,
the complete address of the member and our bank account.
- We will confirm every money transfer and watch number by mail.
- We will also accept 250 Euros payment in advance
- We will expect the rest directly before shipping the watches.
- We will not charge any shipping costs.
- The delivery will be 4-8 weeks after we received the deposit.

If you send us the design for the back of the watch, we can
of course provide you with a mock up picture in best quality.

Together we will create a beautiful watch...
with friendly regards
Peter Pfeiffer

So, please email me (bhanu@cox.net) your contact information (address, phone, and email) and your desired edition number. I will confirm in the order I receive email if the edition is taken. You may want to provide and alternative number.

I will gather the information and pass it along to Laco and they will send us an invoice in the email.

What are you thoughts for caseback engraving? Any picture of the original caseback?

Cheers,
Bhanu

Hi Bhanu! I will check my B-uhr when I go home in a couple hours. Case back engraving- maybe Laco B-uhr WUS LE re created for ....name.... number x/y , date/2008 ?
And PLEASE no acrylic cristal, scratches to easily! We have to follow the current technology a little bit...... Laco uses AR coated sapphire. That is fine with me.
Possibility for the owners name engraved at the back? OK with extra cost

[hotnerd]

Janne,
It will be sapphire crystal definately.
I can find out about additional engraved name but for now let's try to agree upon the standard engraving in the solid case back

Cheers,
Bhanu
