You ask for it. First review in thread 2
Been lurking for b-uhr (pilot watch) for few months now. Some history of the original WWII pilot watch can be found here, http://www.calibremagazine.com/node/305
Finally decided on Laco due to its price and originality of the b-uhr. Chose B dial coz I find A dial is too common and plain for my liking.
This is the original spec for B dial b-uhr. 55mm in size! Easily readable and wear outside the flight suit.

Shipping was fast, 3 days from Germany to KL with FedEx.
Special request for no logo dial to reflect the original spirit of b-uhr. 42mm in brushed steel, mineral cystal glass, inner hour markers with outter minute markers. Still getting used to the short hour hand.
Non screw-in onion crown, would not put a mark on the back of your hand like diamond crown.

Polished steel clear case back with mineral cystal. Mitoya 8215 workhorse. Second hand running smoothly, no stutter issue so far (touch wood
)

Original pilot strap with rivets. Strap alone costing EUR49.00

Need some times to figure how to wear the strap
Strap sitting nicely on my wrist in last hole. People with small wrist might need to request for shorter strap or punch additional holes.

Lume nicely with superluminova.

And lastly, compulsory wrist shot.

Very limited production due to parts availability (or financial difficulty), stocks usually sold off within days.
Laco, one of the 5 original makers of b-uhr, Make in Germany, albeit Japanese movement, EUR166.39 ~RM730 with free FedEx shipping.
Though not as historically correct spec as WUS LE, but I still think that this baby is a steal
