UBoat Calssico U1001 Blue

Hi guys. I am new here. I am looking for a good quality 1001. I am in the uk and good quality replica are hard to locate. Any ideas which web sites sell good one reather than crappy cheap crap I keep finding.
At first U-BOAT's did not seem like a watch that I would wear.Can anyone suggest a dealer for this? Thanks!
All the sudden I must have. This watch addiction is a funny thing. That being said, my question is would you rather have
a U-BOAT with mineral and AR, or sapphire with no AR? Of course we would like sapphire with AR.
Having a hard time finding the latter. What are your opinion's?
WBK for certain...Titanium with blue automatic , high quality , dome sapphire. Don't wait...only one right now
i have the 47mm version fantasy rep (white face with black dials). i got it from Perfect clones a while back when they were a TD here.
its what really started my rep obsession. ive always wanted one of these. the problem with most reps of the U1001 is always the U1001 portion of the dial. it should be raised and but most reps are just painted on. the 50mm version is quite large but the 47mm is pretty awesome size imo unless youre just huge.
id highly reccomend getting a new strap when you get this watch and tighten all the screws. the rubber strap it came with was waaay too stiff. the screws holding the "helium release valve" (mine just changes the date) popped off one day. luckily, i found it and superglued it back in. id lock-tite them all honestly. the screw lugs strip easy. my rotor screw also popped off and i had to fix that. so take it apart and tighten every screw you can!
i stared at reps for these for a looooong time and heres what you should look for.
raised U1001 on the dial.
the metal plate on the band should be at 6 and not 12.
the engravings on the side of the case should be grouped well. youll see a lot where half words are spaced apart.
the back shouldn not be clear. it should have a engraving of a angler fish.
i have seen the reps that are right. Perfect clones has the ones in red and blue i think that are perfect but be careful ordering from them. my watch came but my credit card ended up getting cloned and a nightmare ensued. if stan can get it, id def go that route. stans service and products so far has been top notch for me.
maybe someone who got one from stan can post some pics..?
