Both very nice watches and both times i seen Chris Laco i am amazed at its price to quality ratio (based on my own opinion).

Whats most interesting bout Chris's watch is the strap, the design is really something i have never seen before.

Is there any special significance that its designed that way?

Also mind pointing out the besides the "Laco" branding with yours and Hush any other difference on the LE?

its closer to original b urh watch strap design


alot of differents actually
1. the dial not only no logo.... it was 99.9% downsize from original 55mm laco b urh by a wus member with latest computer technology
    (most modern design b urh watches doesnt use the original size, font type, proportion....)
2. the lume is also applied as per the original b urh
3. the original design big diamond crown for ease of winding
4. original hands design n finishing (blued.... anyway for further info, original is blued steel but mine is printed )
5. beat blasted case that closer to original compare brushed
6. original design thin lugs (original 55mm thin lug actually curve down because is 55mm big, mine isnt)
7. engraved FL23883 like the original b urh on the side of the case
8. handwind eta 2801 movement with LE engraved caseback

Hi Chris,
Great looking Laco beobachtungsuhr. I remember having handled this watch during one of our meetups last year. It really is a very cool timepiece. You definitely don't see many of these here in KL.
Thanks for sharing the pics.

 :Cheers:
