RLudlowe Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I was looking at the new U-Boat "Thousands of feet" on Andrew's site Very cool watch - 50mm is really big but if you're actually going to dive I guess big is easier to read - Is it really supposed to say "Mace in Italy" on the back?

geo1nah2a Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have tried the gen on.. Very nice watch, and love the version with the red glass (not colored dial..colored sapphire). At 50mm it is impossible for me to wear. The 47mm B&R already too big for most people and that 50mm monster is IMHO too big unless You have the hands of the incredible Hulk On the other hand I might as well get one just to look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 At 50mm it is impossible for me to wear. My guess is it would look fine over a 9mm wetsuit - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geo1nah2a Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 9mm wetsuit for the 30m dash in the rain? BTW the latest versions in King's site show the back spelling correctly Made in Italy: red version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted July 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 BTW the latest versions in King's site show the back spelling correctly Made in Italy: I had hoped the days of humorous misspellings on reps was over with - maybe it's just a bad photo on Andrew's site - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakemaster Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I just don't see the fascination with these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I just don't see the fascination with these. I feel the same way about PAM and Rolex - they're just plain ugly to me. But hey - to each his own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrgod Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 The U-boat is a cool watch, but not exactly my style. I might pick one up just for fun. Anyone knows what the red indicator over the seconds subdial (next to the "2") is for? Is it some sort of "low on power" indicator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Anyone knows what the red indicator over the seconds subdial (next to the "2") is for? It's red on all the faces, even the white and yellow ones - so it must indicate something, it's not just a design element. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonasforsbergf1 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Hi Geo1nah2a! I just bought a 46 mm thousands of feet PVD, and Im goning to change the clearglass into a red glass. The red camera-filter-glass cost me 5 dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
