I wanted to have a vintage watch and bought this Laco Sport for under 200 USD from a Swiss watch maker.
It is in perfect working condition and I really like it.

Vintage Laco Sport Antimagnetique in Steel, Early 1940's.
Diameter: 28 mm (without crown).
Manual winding, 17 jewels.
Steel case, second hand.
New plexiglass.
Signs of age on dial and case according to photos.
A new black leather strap has been fitted.
The watch has been checked and works by the watchmaker.

Photos are not mine, but from the website.
I can't take photographs, as I don't have a camera or nor a smartphone.

Any input and thoughts about this watch?

There‘s a Laco Forum on WUS (jusr saying).

One of my former posts:

The Laco Sport history is a story of success. Laco Sport models, almost uncountable, were very famous in the 1950s to 1960s.

The years up until 1959 may be regarded as Lacher's "golden age". Laco enjoyed a strong market position with the manual wind and - starting in 1952 - with the automatic models, while Durowe supplied various watchmakers with an ever-increasing number of reliable and high-quality movements.

Seen through the eyes of collectors and enthusiasts of German precision engineering, this period offers a wealth of particularly interesting models. The "Laco-Sport" was the first one and introduced the "Duromat" - 11 ½ lines (552 cal.), the first automatic movement to be produced by Durowe as of 1952. This movement, with its 18,000 semioscillations and two-directional rotor, based on the 422 cal. manual wind, made Durowe one of the first German manufacturers of automatics.

My standard advise is to familiarize with WatchUSeek and its fora prior to posting.

Good advice. Thank's.
