I ordered another Laco..

[leslie]

Bro,
No offence against Azimuth but their Bombardier pieces a tad over-priced...at $4k!
Steinhart is comparable in quality and a fair bit cheaper.
But Laco takes the cake! It has the advantage of being amongst the original five; their prices extremely competitive. I just wish the Miyota movement casing was the same as the original, albeit scaled down version, but one can't have it all, I guess? My only tinge of regret was buying my Miyota Type A with logo before sterile dial version was released. Had to beg Laco to sell me a sterile Type A dial and pay a watchmaker to replace the dial for me. I thought I had a real special piece. Then mere weeks later, they release sterile dial Type A and B versions, haha!

Bro..Hehe..you got the same idea as me..LOL.. I walked out of the store thinking that how come I can only sell my mint F series 14060m back in 2006 for $3600 and an azimuth cost $4k plus? I would rather pay $4k plus to buy back my 14060m..Anyone bought a 14060m with my name on the certificate..Can you please contact me..LOL

I actually like my A dial miyota with the made in Germany logo because the dial is too plain.. Also can bluff my friends that my watch is quite expensive one.. LOL

Bro..i pulled the trigger after asking a shop on the price of an azumith flieger..alamak, $4k plus for that watch..I've then realised that Laco is indeed very value for money since they are really one of the original manufacturer approved by hitler..haha

Congratulations Bro Leslie!

Bro Yoda,
Buy from German Timekeeper or buy from Laco shop, the price of the Miyota movements are very fair but do note that the casing for the ETA and Miyota 42mms are different. Naturally, the ETA movement's casing is more faithful to the original.

Bro..dun worry about servicing..Watches seldom got problems one..Also generic movements can be service easily in Singapore..

I think servicing should not be too much of a problem because the movement is generic. JW is one option.

How much JW charge for servicing bro?
How about repairs if under warranty? A hassle to send back to German right?
Sorry noob about this cos just picked up this hobby. A lot more to learn from the gurus here.

Thanks all bros for the advice...
If order direct from German, how to service if required?
A bit troublesome leh.

Guys i think one of the site sponsors sell. Also jw watch.

The site sponsor is the Timekeeper that I meantioned. JW used to be the AD for Laco but no longer is - might still have some old stock or preowned pieces (?).

Oh! Then how to feel the watch before I buy? Based on photos only? Hmm...

Buy me kopi in my neighbourhood, I let you feel.
