I’ve been thinking about buying a Laco pilot watch.

I’ve been wanting to buy a pilot watch for some time. I read the story of the 5 chosen in World War II to manufacture military watches and Laco was one of them in Germany. They have a basic model that costs €340 with a Laco 2S (Miyota 82S0) but you can add an upgrade to a Laco 31 (Miyota 8315) for €55 more. Should I choose Laco, or another brand for the price? And is the upgrade worth it?

I bought one a couple of weeks ago, the exact model in the picture but the one at 340€. While I don't use it daily, I really think it's gorgeous and looks quite well built for a watch of this price. At the end why I chose this brand is really because I wanted a inexpensive, nice pilot watch, and this watch ticked all the boxes.

Thank you, I think I will buy it. But do you have the type B or A?
