morgan Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Thinking about getting a U-Boat ToF. These 50mm monsters come in SS and PVD, Yellow/Red and Orange. I've ruled out the red... leaning towards yellow SS. It's tough to find photos of all the colors that can be pulled off the web but here's the PVD and SS. The Orange looks to have yellow hands... not crazy about the color combo. The PVD is nice but I like shiny things.. kinda like a bird. What do you think?

mog Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 PVD looks a little too utilitarian IMHO. SS is much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I think it cheapens it somehow too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireman_Fred Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 50mm !! - WOW, that's a beast !! (Forearms like Popeye required ??!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADRED7 Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I vote for the SS version...any color will be nice. I had the yellow one on my wrist before Xmas and have to say it is a very nice watch. If you are used to 47mm watches this big fella will be no prob. I would buy a rep of that because its design is unusual and unknown, noone will call you out on it The real deal is about 3.200$ and thats a way too high priced thingy, the little red spot has got NO function and even the crown is NOT screwn down, heh? NOT screw down cron for an U-boat watch?? Hhahaha. So come along you rep-gods....rep this if you can. Just my 0.02$ Theo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan Posted January 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I didn't know the crown didn't screw down.. frown That bugs me but not enough. The other thing that bugs me is that the glass isn't sapphire. They call it K1 mineral or something like that? hmmm... I'd get this one grey market just like my other gens so will save a good sum over retail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 I'd go for the PVD one... SS is far too common, though the orange/PVD combination is reminiscent of the Bell & Ross Special Edition (which has just been released as rep).

morgan Posted January 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 I already have the B&R PVD chrono orange rep on order... if not for that I might consider getting the same in uboat. Thanks for your input. I've pulled the trigger already.. steel/yellow! There's just something about that combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
