Hi all..
I tried a friends 30$ u-boat rep, and fell in love immediately with the oversized "no-nonsense" design, that will allow you to actually check what time it is within a split-second because of the big, easy to read dial.
Now I've decided I want an U-boat Flightdeck Cab rep, and I've been reading on/off for quite some time in the forums. And I've of course searched the forums for info before making this thread, but it doesn't seem the u-boats is very popular.
Here's the real deal:

And I'm considering these two reps, but I can't decide which is the one to go for?

The 7750 version is more expensive, but has correct sapphire, correct (sub)dial (though it has "dots" on 12-3-6-9 which (maybe?) is incorrect.
And maybe it is a stupid question, but is the above worth an extra 250$? Of course I would like it to be "gen"-like, but I also really want a watch that will work the next 1-2 years.. So.. What is your opinions?
