    That hasn't been my experience with it at all. I've ordered several watches through their online store without any issue. To be fair, I don't recall anyone else ever complaining about the online shop.

    First off, what do you mean by translation? I assume that you're using the english version of the shop?

    Second, it sounds like you tried to set up an account but you didn't receive the confirmation email from Laco that your account was set-up? Have you checked the SPAM or JUNK folders of your email program in case they ended up there?

    I'd like to help you, but it's difficult without a little more detail.

    I went through the whole registration and when I hit submit and all at the end, it takes me back to the log-in screen. It's like it doesn't take my info.

    Nothing in my spam boxes.

    Does anyone know if the dial and hands on the Miyota Pilot use Super Luminova C3 like the ETA and quartz models? Thanks.

    Re: LACO 42 Miyota Automatic questions

    Details, details, details... please. Who did you buy it from? Is it the current 1925 model or an older version? Did you get the A or B-Muster model? What made you think that the lume material was white?

    Welcome to the Laco Forum sbux.

    It's a shame that you're disappointed, however, it's difficult for anyone here to comment on your situation unless you provide some more detail. Another thing is that I usually wear a watch for at least a week before deciding if I'm unhappy with it. More than once I've found myself developing a deep appreciation for a watch that I had initially dismissed.

    Re: LACO 42 Miyota Automatic questions

    I ordered it directly from Laco site last month and it arrived just today! It is the A dial but the lume material is yellowish not white as seen in some pics and in the site. The most important thing is there is NO MADE IN GERMANY WRITTEN on the dial. Not sure if they have different dial versions even for Type A.

    On the other hand, the finishing on the case is very very good, as well as the packaging. I owned a Steinhart before and the finishing on Laco is the same, if not better.

    Can anyone confirm if the lume should be yellowish? Anyone has the no made in germany dial just like me (so unlucky)?

    The lume on my Miyota certainly isn't white. It has a vintage, green/yellow hue to it. However, I have the previous generation model. Does yours have the 1925 script on the dial? Is there any way you could post a photo? I'm very curious as to the missing Made in Germany text; it is on both the older and newer models.

    my fren from singapore has confirmed with laco that the newer batchs of miyotas do not have the made in germany wording on the dial.. he received his one month ago and it does not have the wording.. according to laco, a number of customers feedback to ask for removal of wording..
