The problem is that the factory's are not making many U-Boats at the moment no demand for them. So if you can't find one on any of the TD sites then there not available.

+1 with Nigel.

U-Boats aren't a popular watch to Rep even though their are a few people including myself who like them. I have 2 The U-Boat Classico and the U-42 both from Sead.

The quality of them are ok i actually got the 21j movement swapped from the U-42 to a 6497. I was surprised by the quality, in a good way thankfully. They were better than i imagined and i am happy with them both.

Happy shopping.

Pknutsy, how easy was it to swap the 6497 in? any mods required to the casing? Any additionnal parts required? Were have you sourced the 6497? Asian? ETA?

Yes the U-42 has been on my list for a while as well, give us details of the swap please.


I wonder some factory somewhere have made the 47mm version of the U-42..?
