• They're that big because the vibrations and shaking in planes of that era made it difficult to read normal size wristwatches during a mission. That and chronometer movements were huge in those days. Chronometers were necessary because they were actually used for navigation.

    Was going to ask which shop. Will call them. I have always wanted a real B-Uhr and that looks like a corker. There is a much less good condition Laco on eBay for £8k at the moment that caught my eye.

    If you need help with shop location I can provide.
