I ordered another Laco..

[toffeesthings]

Haha.. I think sub will be good..

Ah, then you should gun for an IWC Mark XVI! : )

[leslie]

Haha, yeah! You got me there! Maybe a Submariner or 39mm Explorer 1 eventually...

[toffeesthings]

Haha, another wild idea of mine is if I don't do a grand clearance of my watches is to at least clear up a few IWCs, my Omega to make way for a Blancpain. Great if I can lay my hands on a Blancpain GMT at about $5-6k (JW will occasionally have such shock prices), then I'll have in my collection models from the 'top' 5 traditional brands of horology: PP, VC, AP, Breguet & Blancpain.
Then the higher dream is to include another 4 good brands including GP, JLC, Zenith and UN that can be gotten at reasonable prices (Under $5k). Lange out of my league for now.

Oh, mine are the Miyota version, nice but I think the ETA movements casing more faithful to the original, tempted to get lah. If (and when) I get my hands on Type A & B ETA, I guess I'll sell the Miyota movements.

Hmm... Good idea leh...I may do that too.

Quick lock me up at the CDC. Starting to develop symptoms for Stowa

Haha, Stowa also very nice but Laco really epitomizes 'cheap and good' as we say, nay, demand locally!

[toffeesthings]

Er... Thot u already got them?

Haha, now I tempted to get already, but maybe wait for used Type A & B manual winding piece at good price to be available.

Maybe 5yrs later then look at lange, IWC & Wempe . So far try not to go beyond 3K unless love so much that I can't do without :P.
