Everything is just perfect. Love the new crown. A super watch at a great price.
:thanks

That crown is just perfect!

Man: this is something that along the way has become much better than originaly conceived! Better dial, better crown, the lume....etc etc

Kudos to Bhanu, and the gang that has driven forward this amazing project!

And Kudos to Laco too!!!

Dial - 100% !
Crown - 100% !
Cost - 100% !
Happiness - 100% !
Greetings all and thank you Bhanu for a superb job!

Looks great

We need to do a project with a Date and larger Dial something bigger then 48mm.

55mm OK?
Maybe Laco still have that 55mm reproduktion you can buy! Check out their Internet site !
Greetings Janne
(BTW, it has no date, but do you really need one?)

Just a quick update on ordering process:

- I will email Laco with contact information on May 11th (Sunday)
- Laco will email everyone with invoice for 250 Euros deposit the week of May 12th (next week)
- The deposit can be made either with bank wire transfer or Paypal
- Laco will confirm every money transfer and watch number by mail.
- Laco will expect the rest of the payment directly before shipping the watches.
- Laco will not charge any shipping costs.
- The delivery will be 4-8 weeks after Laco receives the deposit.

My best guess is that Laco will start shipping our watches in late June.

Mr Pfeiffer will be on holidays starting tomorrow so other than deposit I do not expect any updates until his return on May 26th.

Cheers,
Bhanu

Bhanu--

I am sorry to be a hassle, but I am moving on May 31st. I've given you the address at which I'll be when the watch is shipped, but it sounds like I may need Laco to confirm the deposit at a different address. Do you think that will be a problem? Thanks for all your efforts!

She's a BEAUTY!

It's already much better than what I had anticipated in the first place. Dial, crown, caseback, lume, strap are all awesome!

One question, I thought we requested for "fatter" minute hand or will that be done on the retrofitted blued hands?

Very happy with the LE! Laco please send me the invoice quick!

The fatter hand will be part of the blued hand project. See the flame blued hand retrofit thread for any discussion concerning this.

Thanks,

Per coincidence I came to this thread...
I just pre-ordered N° 45/50. This watch will be just great.
I ABSOLUTELY love the font that is going to be used:

DIN 1451 Fette Mittelschrift Alt

My all-time favorite font!

Also going for the blued hands.

I much prefer this dial to the LE Stowa Flieger.



Greetings,
