Haha, master yoda, no worries, I can enquire but must page for master JW too. He's on holiday until 11th Feb or sourcing for more poison!

Thanks bro.. 45mm is very nice indeed but cost alot more.. I think EUR$200?

Laco got 45mm meh? I think it will look nicer if given a choice.

got 45mm eta based one lor.. on the first page of laco store..

Got 45mm A and B dial, but only comes with hand winding. Cost should be around SGD1050 before GST.

Yes, there is a 45mm version in Type A & B and it comes only in ETA-manual winding movements. I think Timekeeper is selling it at $1,280. Whether got discount or not I don't know.

Whoever is interested can PM me. I think a friend of mine has one and intending to sell it

Haha! Ok, side-track a little...anyone had thoughts of getting their Laco miyota casings sand-blasted to resemble the ETA/55mm versions? I reckon it'll look even cooler!

And also the miyotas are using the modern flieger lugs pattern. Still looks different comparing to the original leh.

Hot seller by offering this for 50 euros more but they might end up losing more if all go for the miyota and no one want their ETA. After all they are there to do business so i dun think they will do that........

I doubt they would too but they might not lose more business. Laco has probably factored in that the Miyota versions could cannibalize their traditional sales somewhat but the purists will still go for the ETA versions, so I think they are reaching out to different market segments; the casual pilot fan and the military purist.
