Hi All – grateful for your opinions here. My wrist is 7 inch and i'm leaning towards the 39mm based on a few video's that i have seen online. I can't get into a LACO dealer at the moment.

I intend to wear this as an everyday/ casual work attire watch so would the 39mm be the better choice. The 42mm appears to have very limited availability here in the US too. Finally, should i pay the extra for the AR coating?

Regards,

I’ve got several current Laco models but I’m not sure about this “older” one I just picked up.
It has the crown, finish and lugs of the original or pro series. It is 42mm- and 20mm lugs.

It has “Laco by Lacher” on the dial and has a date window. Domed sapphire…

I know it's generally not a good idea to set time backwards, so I try to avoid it when I can. Sometimes, however, I'll miss the minute index a little bit when setting it, so I wind it back a tiny bit rather than wind it forward another 12 hours. When I do this, my seconds hand moves forward a few seconds - is this normal with the Laco 2S movement (Miyota 82S0, with hacking), or could it be a sign that something isn't right with it?

When choosing options to personalise the Pro range I see that a metal bracelet can be selected. I'm looking at the Pro model with the 40mm case size and 20mm lug width.

The suggested bracelet is the one with the 'hidden butterfly clasp'.

Does the other bracelet with the standard fold over clasp fit the 40mm Pro case?
