Great purchase!
What made you buy this over the Laco?
Ya, good question, why Steinhart ?
Ok,
1. i think is the influence from 1 of the "Forum" out there.
2. when i compare price and spec, Laco is more than double vs Steinhart.
(45mm vs 44mm/47mm, the rest like movement and other is about the same)
3. Flexibility, not sure about Laco, but Steinhart is quite flexible, eg. u can request to change the strap or the
crown to suite your taste.

4. Quality wise, i m more than happy with what i get from Steinhart vs the money i had paid.

Lastly, i think Laco & others pilot watch marker are good & quality watch too, but i am please with the decision i've made. no regret...
