Awesome shots of your B-uhr watch ck77. There was actually someone in Lowyat.net who was selling the exact same watch, I was very interested but was kinda annoyed at the seller's comments when I asked him if he had the 2824-2 version instead of the Miyota. Ended up not buying it and got myself a Glycine Combat instead.

Anyways, I am very close to ordering a Stowa B-Uhr. For those who have yet to see it, here's the link Stowa Flieger Baumuster B Dial

Stowa has been making A dial Fliegers all this while but their new range will include a B dial! Its size is 40mm, so it's smaller than your Laco. Price wise, it's also a lot higher compared to a Miyota Laco at 630 Euros.

I recently bought an Orient watch for Father's day. It wasn't planned, as my friend wanted to service his >20 year old Seiko Bellmatic in this shop. There's this watch shop in Central market on the first floor, just go up the stairs. I can't exactly give good directions here but it shouldn't be hard to find.

They sell a decent range of watches, which includes Orients and Seikos. They also dedicate more than half of their shop to pre-owned watches ranging from vintage seikos, vintage omegas, to pre-owned Rolexes (Less than 10 of them, mostly pre-owned), Panerai (There were easily 10 Panerais of which most were BNIB), Corum, Omega, Tag Heuer, JLC and even Gerald Genta!

I was shocked when my friend brought me to this place, basically because there's minimum security with all the high end watches on display.

There was also this pre-owned JDM Seiko displayed outside with many complications which looked absolutely gorgeous.

Edit: There's also a watch shop in Times Square on the ground floor which carries Orient watches. Don't know any others.

If I were to go diving, I most probably wouldn't dare to wear say, a Rolex Submariner or DSSD if I had one haha. I would most probably get myself a Frogman, or wear my Mudman, or any G-Shock as they all have 200m WR. Though I might also just get myself a cheaper Seiko or Orient diver's watch so even if it spoils, heck it. This is because I'm getting my diving licence next year and it gives me a reason to get one! =p

Its nice how Rolex Submariner is the first picture on wiki's Diving_Watch article!

However, regarding readability, G-Shocks have an auto light function where if you were to tilt the watch >15 degrees, it auto lights itself.

While scuba diving, the water is clear, although it can be quite dim depending on depth, so a strong lume also plays a big part in readability. For other types of diving, I think contrasting hands and markers are definitely more important than dial colour.
