Any U-Boat fans here??

Recently got a new Thousands of Feet with red crystal. Now starting to become a fan of this brand. Just wondering is any other members use this brand...

Not at all what I thought this was a thread about. Nice watches nonetheless.

Cool watches and one of the few companies that caters to southpaws. Chimera, u-32, U-101 and Classico are my favorite collections from them. I would like to get one someday, but I can't say that there aren't other watches that I see as a higher priority.

All the best.

Yeah love the big sized (53mm) Classico. I also recently got one as well. The thing is, once I started wearing 53mm, anything under 46 is considered small for my hand. Would like to get a Chimera one day... but for now, my car is the priority!

Too big and garish for me, and I'm okay with up to 46mm!

I used to have a 50mm Flightdeck. I liked it a lot and of course got a lot of comments from non-watch people due to the size. Surprisingly, it was comfortable to wear and had a good feel on my wrist.

In the end, I traded it for a Bell & Ross BR01-92 PVD. I'm a happy camper

If they didn't have that gaudy crown and the fashion brand watch sizing, they could be pretty nice.

However, they don't. They're ugly as fuck.

Why is the crown on the left side of the watch?
