Thanks for the heads up. It looks nice. I'm anxious to hear your opinion of it when you get it.

If you got the watch can you please look, if the color of the orange hands fit the orange bezel? Doesn't seem so in the pics ...

And I would like to know, if the "pearl" is as crappy as on the U-black, namely a small piece of brass painted with luminova or something ... Loses color within hours :-(

Thanks a lot :)

It looks like with some minor tweaks this one will look perfect.

1) Match the orange on the bezel to the seconds hand / dial
2) Darken the hour markers on the dial and bezel @ 12 marker or (Dark lume them)
3) Darken the hour and minute hands or ( Dark lume them)

Voila!

Speak to some of our super lumers, they should be able to do this. If not, then they should at least be able to advise.

I though "solebox" WTF. Now I know. Limited to 10 pieces, lol

German watchmakers Sinn team-up with an unlikely partner in sneaker boutique Solebox to create a special make-up of the brand’s U2 model. The professional mission timer features a German submarine steel case with certification from both the European Diving Equipment Standards and Germanischer Lloyd Hamburg. The case, components and bracelet include TEGIMENT Technology with a black hard coating. Both a silicone strap and olive Zulu textile strap are included. The watch is limited to 10 pieces and priced at €2950 EUR.

Yeah, even Pro-Hunters are volume editions compared to that! :D

But even if it'd say "Phantasialand edition" on the dial, or with only 1 gen piece ever made, it'd still be one helluva bloody nice piece to have IMHO :)

With that watch I really won't care to publicly announce it for what it is - a rep - because a) there's practically no way you could ever get your hands on one of ten gen pieces and b) it's too bloody nice to not get it, no matter as rep or gen or Franken or whutevah ;) c) I guess even the rep Solebox U2 will be a limited edition, of maybe globally 1000 pieces?!! *lol* Was the same with the U1 black: It's out of stock by now, and will hardly ever be redone....

(Was lucky enough to pick up a gen U1 white for my girl this summer, and a rep U1 Black -- won't miss the chance on this one here ;) )

Anyone want to buy mine? Received it a few days ago from Andrew. I also got the Limited Ed U2 which I prefer so I won't wear this.

Swiss Eta 2836-2 Automatic Movement, 25J, 28800bph. I paid $258US, would be willing to let it go for $200USD if you cover the shipping costs. Has never been worn, still has plastic on it and I can provide the QA pics if wanted.

Did you end up selling your Solebox? I just ran across some pics randomly and thought it looks pretty nice. Did it not look right when you got it?

Does the GMT function works on this watch? It doesn't say on PC and GMT watches uses 2893, not 2836 as specified, unless its modified.

i just received my solebox 2813 and the gmt function works perfectly. i have it currently set to tokyo time.

to set the gmt hand, pull the crown out one detent, as if you were going to change the date and rotate the crown counter clockwise

Groove, did you purchase your Solebox from perfect clones as well?

Thisismynick, did you ever receive your solebox? How did it come out? Can you post some pics?

I've got it bad for this one...damnit. Need to make a move quick. Got an itch.

I got my solebox from trusty time, non authorized dealer here, but authorized on rg

If you get one, get the 2836 version. My GMT started lagging and thereby became useless. I ended up getting a u black with 2836 movement and it is so much sweeter
