So the watch I ordered on the cheap arrived, non TD, have no idea which factory it’s from, has this U1 sticker on the case, had a SUPER sticker across the buckle, along with a cheaply made Rolex box and paperwork? Any ideas. Perhaps it stands for “u 1 idiot” ? Will be ok as a daily to throw about. Meant to be gold WRAPPED too.

U1 make decent enough cheap reps. I have a U1 Patek Philippe Nautilus from the Gate, and it's the only PP I'll ever need...

A pic of the FRONT of your U1 would be interesting to see, Max Dad. ;)

That looks perfectly okay for a budget Sub. The dial sunburst looks nice, and the gold in the insert markers isn't bright yellow like some. The heavy date font is the shoutiest thing on these budget models, but only a watch nerd would know that.

Yeah, ya know, for $250 it ain't too bad, considering I was not expecting to receive anything.......never again will I use a non TD, but at the time, I was not an RWI member, so a bit naive.

That watch does not look half bad. I have seen much worse. I wonder why doesn't any of the TD carry them. I mean if someone wants a cheap rep that is.

$250!!!! U1s are more like $80-$100. Use Narikaa, a TD on RWG for these.
