    If anyone was every interested in a LACO Automatic 42mm...

    Now could be the time.

    Just got a call from the distributor, he got triple shipped from Germany.
    We want to move em out.

    It is for the $549 with observation dial. Black or tan strap.


    I can't post the price, but I need some kind of group buy to get a steal of a deal available.

    Trying to get an Fchat list together

    PM if interested

    These are new, but I would imagine the plating is good considering its made in Germany.
    The price is extremely affordable for a watch not made in China :)

    Sorry you don't like it, we can't all like every watch :)

    I grabbed the Seiko in post 2054. I wanted something to switch up with. It looks way better in person than in the photos and I have gotten a number of compliments.

    Glad you like it John!

    I try to take some good photos, but in most cases, the watches look much better in person :)

    Enjoy your new watch, check back in the thread often :D :D

    Chris,

    Do you have any Citizen Perpetual Calendars?

    BTW, I ordered my Flik-Flak out of Denmark. Local Swatch shops don't have 'em. Also looking for a Mondaine Auto on the cheap ;-)

    I never restocked them, a slower mover for me, but not for Citizen. Many of them are in their top 20 SKU's.

    I might be able to order a Mondaine, not sure how cheap though.
    Mondaine recently purchased half of Luminox. Corp name for Luminos is no LuMondi :)
    So, I might be able to sneak in an order under my Lumi account. :)
