    Really like the pilot watch look. Does not seem too bulky or too large. As much as I know, Laco is one of the 5 watch companies which supplied Luftwaffe during WW II. The second being Stowa. I don't have any moral conundrums with owning a watch which was designed for millitary/aviation use for the nazis.
    Going by that logic I should not adore any of the Soviet watches my great-great uncle owned, and trust me, my home country has A LOT of history with both the russians and germans. This particular piece cost 353$ + shipping.

    There are a few flavors. This is a very new piece, price seems low. Check vs new on their websites for prices.

    Size is also variable on these as issued they where 48-52 I think? Laco and Stowa make them down to 36.
