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

[Janne]

I have a query: Would there be an interest to have the opportunity to also order an extra, "see thru" caseback with the engraving? I realise it is not authentic and will increase the cost. Laco already make both casebacks for the 42mm watches.

This would probably be possible at extra cost, but I would not be going for such an option as the movement in question will not be decorated in any way. I love my Stowa MO with display back, but would not like to display a plain movement unless it is a very rare one. Anyway, for me this flieger only will feel right with a solid caseback.

I guess I could always order one from Laco myself. No problem!
Important question, Eric: Please read my recent posts. I have a problem, do not know if it is my computer. Are the pics of my B-uhr visible for you? I posted them 17 hours ago. Thanks!

[Erik_H]

Janne, the pictures you posted are not visible for me as well. Please try again and place the pictures at Photobucket or similar service provider.

On all the laco pilots I have owned, including my55mm replika, they hands are not blued but rather black. i have never seen a laco buhr with blued hands and i have owned 4 of the 42mms

[Janne]

The hands ARE blued! I am lucky to own an original Laco B-uhr from WW2. Just check the hour hand. I hope this attempt to post pics are successfull!



Eric, here are the pics that were stolen by the HP Gremlin!

i'm talking about their modern watches...as far as I know, none of the 42mm or the new 55mm come with blued hands, so they would probably have to do this as a special run. either way, black or blue would be fine with me.

Hello,

I just found this interesting dialog and would like to ask, if it would be possible to jump on that project, also I am late.

Best regards

[Janne]

My apologies, Fachiro! Yes, Laco's hands are black. A pity, it seems that some of the other makes use blued hands. If Laco cannot supply blued, I am happy with black!
(But would prefer blued....)
