I’ve been wanting to buy a pilot watch for some time. I read the story of the 5 chosen in World War II to manufacture military watches and Laco was one of them in Germany. They have a basic model that costs €340 with a Laco 2S (Miyota 82S0) but you can add an upgrade to a Laco 31 (Miyota 8315) for €55 more. Should I choose Laco, or another brand for the price? And is the upgrade worth it?
I bought one a couple of weeks ago, the exact model in the picture but the one at 340€. While I don’t use it daily, I really think it’s gorgeous and looks quite well built for a watch of this price.
At the end why I chose this brand is really because I wanted a inexpensive, nice pilot watch, and this watch ticked all the boxes.
![[Question] What are your thoughts on Laco? Is it a good brand?](https://alien.top/pictrs/image/20a03f77-4055-485f-9f5a-b6606c68e7b6.webp){kind=link}

Thank you, I think I will buy it. But do you have the type B or A?
