Whatever floats your boat

Love the relatively new U-Boat brand....a big, bold statement:

Wear it on the left with the crown facing up you arm

They are not that common but you do see the odd one now and again, I've had mine for a couple of years now. Nice well made watches if you like them this big.

Wow! I like the look of those a lot. Some look kind of goofy, like with lime green numbers but I actually like the look.

That one looks very professional. What do the sub dials do? Looks like a chrono? Is there a GMT hand on there too?

There is no GMT function on mine, just a basic chrono with a fly back on the big second hand. They are limited to a 1000 pieces of each model so mine being a bit older it's unlikely you will find a new one.

I had a 45mm Left Hook earlier this year. Kept superb time & very comfy. Definitely plan to get another one.

Don't let any Panerai boys see it though. They really look down on U Boat watches. They say: no history, no value, just a fashion watch jumping on the big watch bandwagon...
