    Great comparison. I love the way the Laco looks on the blue elastic strap!

      Thank you!! I haven't taken it off that strap since i received it!! Cheers 😎👍

    I would have to go with the Laco. I like the case and bezel better. The back display is pretty impressive also. I do like the hands on the Murphy better, but the Laco looks better to me.

    Just picked up a Murph. I also have a 7 inch wrist and feel like it wears just fine. It's thin profile helps minimize the lug to lug. Great watch and I also got the Tesseract box! This will get a ton of wrist time

    They're both lookers. I have the black dial Bremerhaven and love it.

    The lume on the Laco is a bit of a surprise. Usually the deck watches have none. Such as the Archimede bronze. Also flame blued.

    I bought the Laco a while back and I have to say I was really blown away by the quality and the fit& finish. Both are quite reasonable cheap watches, in the grand scheme of the watch hobby, but the Laco packs a punch over its reasonable price. I have owned more expensive watches with less attention to detail and build quality. Honestly I have never been a huge fan of Hamilton, had a couple and sold them. And from what I have seen, only on UA-cam, the lug to lug distance and the lack of AR costing would annoy the heck out of me. So that one will not enter my collection. Great video as usual, mate and keep them coming.

    • @OFD
      @OFD  5 років тому +1

      Thanks Frank! I'm very impressed by the quality of the Laco at this price point. The biggest complaint i have on the Hamilton is obviously the lack of AR. Thanks for the great comment and for tuning in buddy!! Cheers 😎👍

    • @DrFrankLondon
      @DrFrankLondon 5 років тому

      @@OFD the Hamilton looks great and with the movie cred it has become Very popular, and I have to admit that they have stepped up their lume on this watch, but still, a hand winder from Laco with all the goodies, especially the dial, finishing and the decorated movement, makes it feel special on wrist. And for the price, it's a no brainer if you are into deck watches and German quality.

  • @TimeToGoTravelAndTimepieces

    Both are beauties. The Laco I think takes the edge a little for me.

  • @ghenghiskhan39

    Man, this is like having to choose between Miss Switzerland or Miss Germany in a Miss Universe Contest -- they are both knock-outs! The Hamilton does suffer from the reflections on the crystal. During the video we can see you, your camera, your ceiling fan, and your studio lights. Like I mentioned earlier, the Khaki automatic I once owned had a similarly reflective crystal and it made a quick read of the time more challenging than I believe a field watch should be.
    That pocket-watch Unitas movement is something to behold behind the exhibition case back, isn't it? I don't believe the movement hacks though, which is a minor inconvenience. It's been a couple of years since I had a watch with the same movement so I can't remember if back-pressure will work as a pseudo-hack a la SXK007 or Speedmaster. At any rate, the perlage work and blued screws and red synthetic rubies are just as gorgeous as the dial.
    I'm looking for a white dial pilot or field watch, and the Laco is in the running against a Sinn 104 or a Damasko DA43. Whichever one I choose, it will be Ms. Germany for the win!
    Thanks for an excellent (and timely) comparison video, Aron!

    • @OFD

      Hey Lee! Very well put🤣👍(Ms Germany vs Ms Switzerland) love it! The Hamilton definitely suffers the lack of AR. Domed sapphire is really just asking for it! Even with AR many of my watches employing these domed crystals suffer reflections. Really love my Laco. No, the back hack trick doesn't really work on this movement. I get it close enough for my satisfaction. Cheers, and enjoy the rest of your weekend 😎👍👊

    Hi Aron, These are both very nice watches and I am looking into deck watches. Do you have any opinion on the Stowa Marine or the Hamilton Khaki Navy Pioneer? I'd like to get blued hands and 40mm is preferred to 42

    • @OFD
      @OFD  5 років тому +1

      Both are absolutely beautiful watches. The wire lugs on the Hamilton really give it a vintage look. The Stowa offers different variations which is nice as well. Either way you're doing good. Check out the Lacos too!!

    Any particular reason you put that fugly nato on the Laco? The steak it comes on is part of the watch. That nato looks like shit. These are not comparable watches. The Laco is an enthusiast’s watch. The Hamilton is a department store watch.
