Laco Watch Company - A Brand Highlight with a Family Perspective
Sometime around 1992, when I was in the seventh grade, my father presented me with the gift of a new watch. I had started in a new school, entering into a new phase of adolescence, pressed with the task of making new friends and fitting in. The watch was nothing extravagant, a simple Victorinox Swiss Army watch, grey plastic case with the classic white dial, luminous hands, enameled red bezel and a canvas strap with a leather buckle. Despite its quotidian standard, it was mine, and receiving it felt somewhat like a rite of passage, like the old-timey schoolboy who wears trousers for the first time, at last too mature for knee-socks and britches. It was also a considerable step up from the rubber Casio I had been wearing, with the sallow, miniature incandescent lightbulb inside �� the 80's had ended, after all.A few modern Laco’s that pay tribute to their pastMy father has always been a man of subdued taste, with a preference for blue jeans weathered by shop oil, white t-shirts, go

Is it too big?
The girl I'm seeing made a remark how she dislikes larger watches and she thought the 15407 was perfect on me. This made me have second thoughts about the fit of 44 on my wrist. I have a thin, but very flat wrist. Here is a profile shot. Bear in mind I'm on the 2nd hole from tightest on the XS strap.

My first Omega, Seamaster Pro "Bond" model!! PICS!
I picked this up today locally. I paid $1100 for it. Has the outer box and inner box along with the papers too! It is an 80041xxx serial. What year would that make it? I think its a 2000-2001 but Im not sure. What Reference would it make it as well? Is this the 2531.80 reference too? I have always wanted and Omega Seamaster too! Finally I have one. The build quality is beautiful and its heavy. It puts the Rolex Submariner to shame in that department. Taking nothing away from the Rolex Sub, as its an iconic piece and will one day own one Im sure. It just feels flimsy and cheap in its bracelet to me for the price of the watch. I must say this watch gives me more satisfaction than even my Rolex watches and I dont know exactly why. I cant take it off! Here are some pics for you guys! I know we all love pics!

D-Blue and Mcintosh
My first post to show off one sweet watch I received for my 55th birthday from my wife. What do you think, it seems to go real well with McIntosh blue meters?
