Anybody like U-Boat watches?
 
I have always liked the U-boat watches. Simple design, not expensive (relatively, at about $2.5k up) and large faces which is nice for those of us with , er, stout wrists :D

You own all the three Bro? I happen to like Sinn .... but held back cause dont know if its really worth the money, similar like Panerai ... which I have always think its a little over priced.

You need to have a fairly large wrist to wear a U-Boat watch comfortably.

There are a few different widths. Not all of them are 50mm so hopefully there is something for everyone :yes:

Bro, do they have this model in size 40mm? Thats about right for my wrist, any larger would looked ugly on me! By the way, what's are they selling one for? Hope its not too expensive. I really would like to have one for the day to day working wear. :thumbsup:

Jerry.......Looking around, it looks like the smallest U-Boat watch is 43mm. This one is from Amazon.
