New Arrival. UBOAT Skelton 8028

Just arrived last night. Will fit into rotation very nicely..46 mm feels great and it sure does sit high on t he wrist. Here are a few pics.

I owned three Uboats at one time years ago, a very fashionable italian watch, I just got tired of how big 50mm were. This 46mm is a great size and looks perfect for your wrist. Congrats!

Thanks for all the good wishes . I think this size, 46mm, is just about perfect. My 6471 is a 47mm, and it also sits well on my wrist. I think U-boat gets a bad rap because so many of their pieces are 53mm, and unless you have a wrist like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sylvester Stallone, its will look way huge and draws the wrong kind of attention to it
