U-Boat Out!


alant

Recommended Posts

Saw from King's site U-boat reps are out! These are in quartz but looks quite ok if not expecting it as a super rep or any where close to the gen ones, so does anyone has any opinions on these watches? Or has anyone bought any of these watches? Pls share. Thanks in advance! So tempting! ;)

These have been out for some time, but have not received much attention in here.

Some of the U-boats are cool.. but never something I would wear myself... As attention grabbers though, they beat every Rolex hands down! :)

The 7750 versions are out too. Has anyone bought these? Any feedback or pictures will be appreciated. Or it's so unpopular that no one is buying it?? Thanks.

I bought and received mine flightdeck 7750 today. I must have been an idiot to believe their claims.

Yes, definitely they it's an inverted chrono, but on the web site it stated start-stop at 10 and reset at 8.

Mine arrived with a normal inverted. 8 start-stop, 10 reset..

Probably should go kick someone now.

what is the color of your u boat

fightdeck

Got the one with orange numerals.

1. Website info was wrong. Watch functions same as gen...10:00 reset, 8:00 start stop.

2. Wasn't too sure about the numeral & hand colours...till I compared with the gen I went to look at...colour is spot on.

3. Saw some web site gens pics, the reset didn't have rivet head design...the button is flushed straight. But the gen I saw at the shop has the same riveted head as my rep.

Didn't compare side by side, wouldn't dare at the shop...but am happy with the results.

On the wrist...I have a really big wrist. Watch doesn't look big.

Front. Markings look correct. Ignore the mis-aligned date...it's almost midnight when I took pics..

Sorry to bring a dead thread alive, but the U-BOAT font is actually much closer to the 9 oclock. I've got rep and gen, everything else is spot on, except that, and the caseback. The gen's sapphire is flush with the back. This one here is sticking out by 0.5mm or something obvious. It's funny because the rep has better lume than gen. =(

I like U-Boats, the only thing holding me back Is the size. I guess If a SA @ 48mm Is wearable then the 50mm Of some U-Boats should be ok. :g: Im thinking If you Include the canteen were talking around 55mm,dam thats alot watch :shock:
