ocram Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yesterday I saw at my local Watch Dealer one of the most impressive Watche I´ve ever seen. An U-Boat Watch. And now, I just wanted to know if there are any Reps available? This is a Watch I am ever searching for. Please Help me!!! See attached Pic for an example.

richard_uk Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 There's usually lots of Uboats on eBay, they're not that expensive, not sure if they're reps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I was told about U-Boat watches by a female friend about a year ago, and at the time, I thought they were nice, but put them out of my mind. Having got more into the 'high end' watches, I'm noticing some design similarities with the Panerai watches. Same designer or at least one inspired by the other perhaps?

richard_uk Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 If you look on eBay also search "russian diver" there's some interesting ones very similar to the UBoats with removeable grill thingy on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratchpot Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 There are no U-Boat reps, as far as I'm aware. The non-chrono gens are fairly cheap so it might be worth saving up for one of those instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Posted February 27, 2007 Report Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think the U-Boats are kissing cousins of reps already. Just a hunk of metal case with an ETA 2824 shoved in them. If you like one of the designs and can get it for ~$300-400 go for it. Otherwise one of the Panerai reps you'll find here or, if you want something a bit more on the legal side, you might check [ http://www.internationalwatchman.com ]. IWI has some dead ringers for Panerai. They are basically the same watches you will find here but not branded. I bough one or two of these watches and been very pleased with them. Main difference, besides the lack of a infringing Trademark, is that the IWI watch will be more consistant whereas the reps from any of our dealers will have more variation batch to batch. Course they will cost a bit more as well.... /Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In defence of ugly watches, my PAM187 is ugly, but lovably so. The U-Boat is just plain ugly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
