Who Wants To Have A Good U-boat Rep ?

Recommended Posts

Hi watchlovers and especially U-Boat lovers listen up!!

I talked to one of the respected dealers here and asked him if there was a change to get a good Quality U-Boat replica in the future. He didn't really know the brand and thought it was a fashion brand (because it was in a earlier topic) He looked up the website and and said that it would not be difficult to make a good replica of this watch, because of the right movements (eta and unitas) in the gens.

I don't agree with the person who thinks it's a fashion watch. I think U-Boat does have a tradition in Europe and will be on the market in fututre. I would buy one of the newer models as a rep for sure and they are getting more expensive every year.

Who would buy a good rep of the U-boat when it would come out and which model do you like???

Please sent as much feedback as possible, so we can get a good look on the big picture.

I personally like the classico AB 4 and the flightdeck ABO

........sorry, to sell a watch to a few replica buyers on a board is not sufficient

for a manufacturer to invest a ton of money for an unknown brand of watch...

It would have to follow the path of Panerai before it could possibly happen...

but now it's premature to even contemplate...

Great looking watch however... and I hope they make their mark... ^_^

Well...

From what I understand the U-Boat brand is VERY popular in Europe. I suppose rep makers can find a market there and make a profit.

I'm a Rolllie guy but I like to switch it up a bit with the "tuna-can" Panerai's...

I'd love to see a U-Boat rep!

Count me in :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Hi Richard,

It looks like you're right.

People love the watch, but the quantity might not be enough (SO FAR.) :D

Even if you received 10,000 'yeah I like it's looks,..' posts,... still it won't be enough for

any manufacturer to invest the substantial amount needed to rep the watch.

Even if you paid for it's build, they still would not stock it for you.

Why not ?

This watch may be known in sections of Europe,.. but until it's popularity crosses over

to become a household name in America, Canada, Australia Japan, ect. ect ect..

it's not worth the risk.... And that may Never happen.. . http://www.slate.com/id/2155600/pagenum/all

hmmmm......

Do you really think these could go the way of panerai i.e $3000 today -------> $30,000 in 4-6 years?

I would have one. I like the Thousands of Feet MB - Black with Yellow Dial. I also like the Night Vision. I would like to see the Crown on the right on whatever Rep they made though.

Scott. :victory:
