QC Pics received!

...ever since I placed an order with Mary for two U-Boat watches!! I just can't wait to receive them! So far everything is going super smooth and super quick with Mary, I am very pleased with my choice of dealer even though she is not a TD on here. Price is excellent. communication is almost instantaneous and questions are always answered! She always reply with 12-24hours.

I was finding other people's threads a bit ridiculous when they were showing off a watch they weren't having yet, but now, I am on the same side of the fence... :)
So here it is, I just received my QC pics for the first watch and I want to share them with you:

The only one flaw I could Identify is the U-42 machined logo on the case that is not that clean. Nothing I cant fix or live with though. And also the color of the stiches on the strap is darker than Gen, I was thinking of giving a call to Crocs from Prime Straps anyways ;)

This watch has captured my attention at first sight and still does. The Champagne dial is making it very different and the huge case with the CV joint style shaft is making it unique and stylish. Yes some will call it ugly, but ugly with style! :)

And for reference, here is the Gen:

Now I am expecting pics of my flightdeck on Sunday morning.
Will keep you posted ;)

Awesome choice! I've been eyeing this watch for a long time! You'll have to do a full review of it when it shows up!

Off course I will do! and I am looking forward to it! I was looking for an accurate rep of the this watch, most of them have the seconds @ 3 and no serial number. As per what I am seeing on the gen website, only the 1942 has the seconds at 3, but it does have a SN: X / 29.

The Other QC pics from the second watch just came in. Mary is waiting two days to make sure that the watches are in good shape then shipping...

I was looking for a U-boat with CF dial and grey markers, Mary got me this one with white markers instead. I will take it since I was hesitating between the two in first place.

So here is the beast!

Is that a regulator we see there? Never seen a U-Boat rep with a regulator!

I have been reading around that rep leather straps aren't the bests, what leather strap style would look good on this flightdeck? I would like it to have a retro aviator look.
