I really like that blue dial, Tony

.

Today, still with my newbie, the Laco Flieger on 55mm, and also wore my Steinhart Nav B on 47mm...both on "A" dials.

Here's a size comparison of both. They are on exactly the same focus plane from the camera's lens and thus no exagerration of size. Oscar, the 55 isn't really that big

. Beside it is a spare Flieger strap which I got about 2 weeks ahead of the newbie's arrival.

Here it is solo and beside it is a Flieger strap executed by SteveO in black so that I can mix and match it with my moods.

Great photos Jeff! I could not pull off 55mm but that is a sweet looking Laco!

Thanks for the kind words, Trent.

Initially, I was hesitant to wear this Hercules C-130 to the office but after a few hours I got a lot of very positive comments and HIGH 5s from my mates. Like many who own this model, it takes a bit of "cojones" at the start but after that, it's a home run. Honestly, if only I knew about this brand and model much earlier, I would have maybe snagged a few already. Very candid comment ==> it feels really good having this on the wrist....nothing to itdancing.gif

Jeff...that Laco really pulls off the vintage pilot look very, very well...great looking piece.

Those comparison shots are great and really help visualize what a 55 mm case diameter looks like..."not really that big eh Jeff" ....hmmm...ok amigo, ok...

I will again admit that I could not pull it off (a personal thing this watch wearing thing is...my personal limit for lug-to-lug tip given my average-ish 7.25" wrist is in the ~57mm dimension which I'm sure this one exceeds), but you are the man amigo...you are the man!

...and I definitely agree with your comments, takes "cajones" to give this one a whirl...heck, at the present rate of watch dimensional growth, 55 mm may be an average sized watch 5 years from now. dog smile.gif

Thanks, Chris. I still owe you the measurements of lug to lug. Can't seem to find my caliper but I'll give you both lug to lug and horn tip to horn tip. 5 years....maybe 80mm dog smile.gif

The satin finishing and case profile resembles the Anonimo line. Really nice this one.

I love my 1500 on mesh too even though it comes with a great leather strap too.
Yours is just super nice and special with the Omega Mvt. You got us all drooling!:)

What really sold me on this one was the ultra-clean highly visible pilot dial!
