    Re: And They Start Arriving...

    Mecalito, your proposal is interesting and I would consider it. However, for a Baumuster A I will also consider the Stowa serial production watch (I missed out on the LE) as I find that one to be such a beautiful solution to a Baumuster A.

    I will for sure be in on Crusader/JohnF's proposal though. Let's get a new thread and see what we would like to do.

    Hi -

    I agree here: the IA is available as hommages from a number of sources, not the least of which is Laco itself.

    Crusader, check your PM...

    I am listening. I have already decided I want it on a khaki band...

    Count me in! Love that Bulova. But the A-11 is nice too!

    My preference: I would love to have John's "black dial", with a modified 7550.
    Not too big, around 40-42mm

    The negative with an A-11 is, it is quite close (visually) to what we have done.
    But, as always, Majority Rules!

    I'm in for the A-11 as well.

    I'm not interested in the type A Baumeister because I'm one of the lucky ones who have a Stowa Flieger Original limited edition.

    Re: Thoughts About A Possible Next Pil-Mil Watch Project

    A military-style watch that has been suggested on the Stowa forum is a field watch. I don't know the exact history of this design, but I would love to learn about it as part of a modern recreation. Pic is from a postcard that Joerg sent out. The top watch in the postcard, in 40mm, would be my vote.

    The A-11 sounds like a great idea - gotta be a great lumer!

    you're right about the stowa, but i'm pretty sure that a stowa will be much more expensive than another laco one.
    i also already have a pilots watch with baumuster a-dial - the archimede pilot (which is a relly nice watch, of course)- but the laco is much more authentic.
    i think such a project would be very easy to realize with our experiences with laco and imho the amount of 50 wouldn't be a problem either ...

    VERY nice watch dial; I'll do the dial vector conversion
