SOLD: Laco Absolute Quartz GMT

Post by TheJohnP »

Selling off my Laco Absolute quartz GMT.

Asking $175.

I take Paypal.
Will offer free, insured insured shipping in US.
Open to international orders if buyer covers shipping costs.

Reasons for selling:
1) The old chestnut of just not getting enough wrist time.
2) I originally bought the watch to fulfill a desire for something "made in Germany." Since then, I've got a couple of Braun, a Kemmner, and a Junghans, so covered for German made.
3) Aesthetically, not a fan of the extended window arc for GMT time and the proprietary lugs.

History & condition:
1) Bought directly from WatchMann in March of 2018. So no longer under warranty.
2) Have kept all boxes, tags, and paperwork, which will be included in the sale.
3) Worn sparingly since purchase, but often enough.
4) Light and faint scratches on the polished bezel and caseback
5) Crease on the strap where often secured and some minor marks on the leather, but overall great condition.
6) Running fine and keeping excellent time.
