    Laco Westerland movement pictures?

    I am looking at buying a new Laco 45mm Westerland with the ETA 2804.2 hand wind movement.
    I've looked at the Laco website and google but have been unable to find any pictures of the watch with the case back removed (I am keen to see how well the movement fits in the case - if it's a plastic or metal movement holder and also the finish of the movement - if it's signed Laco for example).
    Has anyone seen the watch with the case back removed or better yet able to post some pictures?

    Laco Flieger movement questions

    If anyone from Laco is reading this please could you tell me if the movements in the Flieger watches (I am interested in the ETA manual wind) are signed Laco and if the movement holder ring inside the watch are metal or plastic.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    The movement is not signed by our Company. The only modification wie do, is assembling the shut-off lever for the hacking second. And we regulate it to an accuracy of -5/+10 sec. a day.
    The movement holder is a metal one fixed with screws.

    Hope I could answer all you question, if you have further ones, do not hesitate to ask.

    Best regards,
    Diana from Laco Pforzheim

    Which shows the Quality of the manufacture. Not regulating, and using plastic spacers is the standard in the Industry!
    Also, it is very refreshing that a company says they use a unmodified ( you know, modified as in having a name on the movement) ETA.
    Honesty goes very far!

    ODP,

    You would be very pleased with a Laco. I have owned four, and each of them has been a bizarrely accurate timekeeper. Like within 1-2 seconds per day on my wrist. They are cool and distinctive and very well made.
