Morning with Laco with cool lugs 😁

Another Laco. Don’t see many older ones here. This one likely from the late 1940s. Both the movement and the dial,marked “foreign”, rather than “German”. Likely because of backlash against Germany after WWII. Laco used Swiss movements until the 1940s, after which they used German movements. This one features a German made Durowe movement, marked “foreign”.

Un-Speedy Tuesday. An early dental appointment for a "simple replacement" of an old crown didn't allow for time to fetch the Speedmaster from out of the safe, so a selection was made from the "ready watch tray" on the dresser.

Very similar to the caliber in my watch! 😀

Picked this up today. I had an orange dial Panova a few years back, but gave it to my son. I like the blue dial with orange accents.

The watch around here that nets the comments and compliments from "the Great Un-Watched."

Go figure.

She may have been cheap and nasty. She may not be the most accurate timekeeper. She may be all tarted up with a non-original dial redo, but it's Shameless Hussy Monday around here, for hussies need love too. Somewhere under the smart black strap, skanky cloths, incorrect crown, and all the cosmetics and cheap perfume there's a good-hearted '59 Seamaster with 520 movement.
The hands on that watch make it nice for one. As I read your stanza this song was forced into my head. Sorry I know it’s not the music thread but now I’m stuck gotta post it. I’ll add my watch to make it acceptable
