Here's another view of a Laco Type B

Was interested to read that they weren't part of issued kit for the navigators, they were issued one at the start of each mission and had to return it afterwards.

I'd be slightly cautious with watches like these as they tend to pack quite a lot of Radium in them. That, and I'm not sure why someone would want to own a Nazi watch when you can buy an IWC or JLC RAF navigator's watch which is also a more suitable size.

Because they're incredible watches and part of history and some people don't wear all of the watches they own. They are collectors pieces.
