eunomians Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 Interesting line. Too big for most, but still interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted April 30, 2007 Report Share Posted April 30, 2007 I am definitely interested. A decent rep may not be far away as Enzo recently discovered a site selling U-Boat homage watches with a 1:1 case. I would love a flightdeck. The popularity of U-boat watches in the UK and Europe has recently increased since David Beckham started wearing one. I have also seen pics of him wearing a 217. N.

hambone Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Every few days I am at the Torneau admiring the U Boat line of watches. They are awesome. The 'Thousands of Feet' with red dial and silver case is my favorite. This is a 56mm watch, and quite impressive. Should there be a reps made of U Boat, I will get one.

andreww Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I've seen a few of these thing and IMO they look bloody ridiculous. I honestly laughed the first time. Looks like a clock on a strap! I like big watches but theses are just too big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docdoc Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) waiting for some nice quality reps. So I will definetely go for it ! King's ones really sucks… sorry !

mucrewbtp Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I'd buy one in a second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 They're clearly fashion watches, but who cares? So are Panerai. I'd love a U-Boat rep. I've designated my 6 watch box for so-ugly-they're-beautiful watches. So far I only have the B&R in there and the Graham diver on the way, but a Uboat would go in there for sure. Of course I want one of the ones with the ridiculous crown chains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hambone Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Here is a U Boat replica I just purchased and put in the backyard of my beach house. It is actual size, and shoots kegs of beer instead of torpedos. Oh, there is a nice clock inside as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco130 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 The 7750's are coming and I'm sure there'll be a more accurate rep. I like em. The Wolfpack The Wolfpack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceberg1127 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 U-boat is a hot watch. it's NOT one that should be slept on. people would buy one my self included. look at how hot those hideous bell and rosses did and they are in the same catagory as these u-boats imho. that being said, king has some inexpensive quartz models.http://www.kingwatches.net/. not 7750, but like was said earlier, they are coming. as far as obscurity, they make romain jerome reps. I doubt half the world knows what that is, i bet alot of memembers dont. just because a watch isnt rolex or breitling doesnt mean it shouldnt be repped. an obscure replica just makes the watch seem more gen. just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PATerai Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 Let them start with the thousands of feet, leave those flightdeck's the way they are now WE NEED THE 1000's OF FEET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statikman Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I bought a gen Flightdeck from TZ a few weeks back, tired of waiting on the rep. I like it but would never pay retail for one. The size makes it impossible to keep it ding-free, and that sucks for a PVD watch. Also, AR would be nice on the rep. I'm thinking of having mine done.

hambone Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Trusty and Josh both have 4 examples of Uboat watches as of yesterday. Here is a Flight Deck Chrono in gold. The prices and specs are not posted yet. This watch looks like it should be a 53mm. The Classico is 43 mm, although I could not find a gen classico in gold with the white dial. It is a very cool watch. http://www.trustytime88.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=3073 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flex Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 To me, Uboat is a 'clubbing watch', i never see anyone wear them outside of night club. Uboat has a cousin watch, called 'Welder'. Saw one guy wearing Welder in a wedding party - the person who sits next to him thought that it is a 100k watch. She was wearing a yachtmaster herslef. very awlful looking http://www.welderwatch.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
