which was the first to go? 28 I assume or 100 or 1?

FWIW I showed the watch to my mom and she thought it was cool.

The first four were:

1. Fcar348fan aka Pcar928fan #1
2. RKD #94
3. S4Ordie #7
4. Ketchmi #63

Then all the years (somehow #81 is available) were gobbled up

Here is a better image of the caseback.
I had quite a few emails asking about pics of the caseback since I didn't have any on the website. Didn't think about that. What a dumb *** I am

I have noticed (I could be losing my mind though ) that my watch glows better now than in the past.

I've never worn mine. I guess I'll have to set it out where it can absorb some light. I didn't know it would look so cool at night.

Photophobia, or light sensitivity, is an intolerance of light. Sources such as sunlight, fluorescent light and incandescent light all can cause discomfort, along with a need to squint or close your eyes. Headaches also may accompany light sensitivity.

This thread has almost twice the amount of views as the "Read this before posting" sticky.

Sorry, just thought that was funny.

I don't really pay attention to the sticky's on the forums.

What about a plastic coating on the crystal in different color options?
I have this in yellow, but I would like to source larger pieces so I can perfectly cover the crystal.
Yellow, Blue, grey

Would be a cool look to the watch and pretty close to free, just cut and stick (like on the cell phone glass)

Excellence ad lands to subscribers a week from today
On the shelves on the 23rd. I think it would be a good idea to pick one up

Here are a few pics with the military nylon strap on the 928 watch
Available in Khaki green, grey, or black

I am not a huge fan of this band, but I do sell a ton of them in my stores. So I guess most of my customers don't agree with me

Well, this thread is quite a read... Are there any waches left with stainless steel bracelets? At what cost?

There are several available for delivery right away, but the SS bracelet might not be in stock. They are an optional band and were $150 extra over the original cost of the watch w/ the black leather band with red stitching. The watches also come with an extra leather band with white stitching that is the standard Laco leather band. Personally I LOVE the SS bracelet band!!!

James in right on the money with the pricing.

$749 with the custom strap + the Laco factory pilots strap
$899 includes the bracelet and the other 2 straps.

Really low on bracelets and the factory is closed for the European Holiday in August. So I wont see any bracelets for a month.
All the bracelet I got in have pretty much sold. And it was quite a few of them.
After today's orders and deliveries, I have 2 bracelets left. Not a good position to be in for me since the magazine ad runs next week.

And a pic of a band thank resembles a Toyo tire
