slickdick Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Looks lovely and great pics Is it Ti? Unlike what the Topic title states. It is biologically hardened plastic @richard Congrats, can't pull off a 53 mm watch myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteM Posted October 28, 2010 Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 Unlike what the Topic title states. It is biologically hardened plastic @richard Congrats, can't pull off a 53 mm watch myself. It really doesnt look like any Ti finish I have seen before thats why I asked again But grade 5 apparently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnz Posted October 29, 2010 Report Share Posted October 29, 2010 Yes it's made of grade 5 titanium, and the case seems yo have been further treated with a beadblasted finish. Hence it looks different from the usual Ti finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchman73 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Nice Beast!!!! Question...how come your U-42 is 15 of 99 units (on dial) , and burnz is xx of 999 units (on dial) ??? I know from some source that U-Boat made 999 of the limited edition, but now that I see 15/99....I'm confused ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard lawton Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hi Watchman, Simple, Burnz is the automatic version (center second hand) 999 units made. Mine is the handwind with the subdial seconds at 3.00 with 18K gold winder retainer pin and buckle pin only 99 of these made. Hope that helps.
