I really enjoyed this thread. Lots of interesting and cool watches - really loved those Pie-Pan Connies !
here's one that you'll never see, pretty rare item. This is a WW2 pilots watch, made by Laco. 55mm case diameter ! Like wearing a frying pan on your wrist.
called a "B-Uhr" or Beobachtungsur - navigators watch. This one is a re-pop from the original manufacturer, very very close to the original which changes hands for big bucks. The movement is slightly different.
the original strap is like a dog collar - to be worn on the outside of your flight jacket. If you were flying a Focke-Wulf 190, you'd probably be wearing one of these.
Guaranteed conversation starter ! which is the point, right ?
