Wow on a roll this 2 days. Actually both my Seagull and Laco reach on the same day but was not in office to collect it.

Happy its on the wrist
Side by side with its brother from another continent.
Well what can i say, 2 watch came at once dunno which one to wear first.
My daily SD will have to go on vacation a while now.
Still not yet wear the Laco but some initial thoughts.
- Strap is super stiff!
- No tools came with the watch to change strap.
- Didnt come with the "roller style" strap that Laco is famous for, looks like gotta order one.
- Love the finish on the case (whats it called now? brushed? satin finished? blasted?) and makes it look smaller than polished.
- The watch winds soooo smooth, and with that crown its easy to grip.
- Using a cheap ass loop, i found except the hands, the lume on the entire watch not really evenly applied. Some look thicker than others. I even found one which has bubble.
Can anyone who has Laco comment on theirs?
Well thats it for now i guess, maybe more comments as the week go by and me rotating between the Laco and Seagull.
Can other members who have the B-dial comment the difference of theirs and mine?
I dunno how historically correct my model is but its everything i wanted. Time only and manual wind so i like it.
I know Laco owners are obsessed with being every detail historically correct so lets hear em guys
Have a great weekend everyone!
