Bought this cheapie Quartz from Silix a year ago to see if I'd like B&Rs. It's since started a BR obsession with me. Now desperately hoping a V2 of the golden heritage with a better dial gets released soon!

Late Saturday wristies of my newly arrived U Boat U 1001 Italo Fontana from Ali Express; this is an inexpensive (read: cheapie) model of the watch. I've wanted to try a U Boat, so before ordering a better quality one, I thought I'd try this version first. If I don't like it, not much is lost. It has its flaws from the original, of course (like the missing helium escape valve at 8), but, all in all, it ain't too shabby. Actually, while out to dinner with two other couples, the U Boat was noticed right away, probably because of its 50mm diameter. dave:

I dunno about this, n. To me, these numbers (and dial) would make it a lot easier to read the time -- even at a glance!! heh!

Thanks Dave. This one was a real "challenge" to get where it is today; on my wrist! I did a post next door in the Seiko section "Surviving the shyster's and scammers". Didn't post it here since one of the shysters/scammers was only a member next door I believe.
Thank you sir! Just one of my 8 "children". She felt like posing for a picture. :thumbup:
Fun looking watch, Dave. Nice pick up!
