Since this section have been pretty much dead for a long time, I thought I would share this little refreshment:

I honestly thought we won't see any new reps of U-Boat in future. Glad to see this one out. Fingers crossed for good U-42 rep.

Bad shelly. You aren't meant to revive dead threads... let alone dead sections! :spank: :lol:

I want a U-42... but a smaller one :D

U-boats might be coming back into fashion :thinking:

Haha I will be more careful next time. :p

My U-42 is smaller at 47mm and 7" wrist is enough for it I think. You should try it out. It's around $130 if you know where to look at. ;)

Actually looks quite close to the gen ,hopefully the price is not too ridiculous.

Apparently shipping from pure time now.

I wonder how good a rep it is. Any experts?

So far only the shape of the reset pusher at 10:30 and the subdial @12 (missing white arc where it intersects the large seconds dial @3) have been identified. Too small to be noticed by the eye at wrist length and certainly not if you don't know what you're looking for.

It might have been affected by the Chinese National Holiday. I only got the watch because I did not ask for any QC pictures and it's a China-to-China shipment.

Thanks mirage , the crystal is quite clear and thick, with a little magnifying effect ! Similar to Noob PAM111 but thicker

Crown and pushers , a little disappointed with the wobbly chrono start pusher and shallow engraving on the crown cap .
