Laco Himalya - thoughts?

Really liking the look of this on rubber, anybody else see the attraction? Only an ETA 2824-2 but then at circa £650, that's about par for the course.

Really nice individually styled diver, but some mixed messages there.
A diver named after the worlds highest mountain range, with a scorpion on the back????? Huh????
Doesn't stop it being a nice watch.

Very Koboldesque in design, which is not a bad thing - given I expect that the case is probably a Fricker manufacture. I'm not convinced with the twelve o clock marker, perhaps it should have been either a thicker solid bar, an orange lume strip between the two green bars. Finally, I agree on the mixed message, my first thought was why a scorpion? Maybe they should have called the watch range 'Stinger'.
I think it looks better value on the bracelet, always a nice option and a rubber strap will generally be cheaper to buy after market.

Looks an nice watch for the money ,but it's a very crowded marketplace they are competing in

I wish you hadn't mentioned that 12 o'clock marker... didn't really notice it from my quick nosey this morning. Don't like it so much now...!!!

I think the hands look too long

I think it looks great, except for that case back engraving... doesn’t match the rest of the watch

[Pistolpete21]

Seems decent value and I like the hands but I’m not a fan for the dial layout or big scorpion case back.

I think that looks great - really strong and rugged, but with a nice shape to the lugs. Good lume and a good price. What's not to like. <sigh> another one to add to the list!
