Default 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

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

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