Going against the grain here, but I actually like this!

I infinitely prefer this to the uniform, insipid vintage lume look that so many manufacturers are shoving out.

With this, you get the full monty **** look and effect of an oldie, but with modern reliability/WR etc.

There is a whole group of guys out there who spend all their days "vintagising" new watches to make them used, and some of them are quite astonishing.

I'm with Nick on this; really quite like them and these 'vintage' Lacos fulfil a market niche as an original Laco, from the 1930/40s with this sort of patina, will cost you megabucks.

My favourite is the Dortmund Erbstuck; 45mm, hand wound, Type B;-

Full range appear to be available in UK from Page & Cooper.
