Sorry guys, no Rolex or Pam here... Only Big and fat U-Boats with their new shoes from Panatime.

So for you U-Boat fans, here are a few pics of my FlightDescks with their new straps. Let me know what you think ;) These are 24/24mm straps that I trimmed down to 23mm around the lug areas to fit the U-Boat case.

Thank you guys! I always liked things that are different and that have a strong personality. I guess U-Boat are a perfect match. To bad there aren't so many accurate rep out there.

Love these watches but I can only admire others wearing them. Can never get these watches to not look like a joke on my tiny wrists :(

but thats part of the fun ;) get a nice band like Mirage's thats about 5-5.5mm thick and on a smaller wrist, it takes away from the bulk of the watch a bit. On a mates it does anyway

You're right Sethgun the thicker straps make them more acceptable size wize.. But wearing them day after day will get you use to the size. I have a 7.25 inch wrist and I am 6 foot tall 190 lb. I am not that much of a big guy and I like to wear these watch a lot. I cannot consider a watch below 45 mm anymore (maybe 43 for a dress watch such as my Timewalker.) The next watches in line for me will be:

Sport:
Super Avenger 48mm
Big Pilot 47mm
Top Gun 46mm

Dress:
FA Jones 43mm

Black rivet looks perfect match for the U-Boat.

I love them but can't wear them cause I'm right handed.

Why not? I'm right handed... wear it on your left, correct?

The crown cover will hurt your hand when bending your wrist no?

I don't even feel it unless I'm really bending my wrist up at a sharp angle. Can't say it's ever actually hurt.
