U-BOAT - Rising star?

[spursburger]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to hear your views on U-BOAT... Saw the watch at Raffles City today... looks great... simple and "big"

Will it be another "Panerai"?

If you like it why not ??

IMHO watchs are all about history/marketing/quality/mass appeal/demand .

Models you like but other ppl don't like.

Models other ppl like but you don't like,

Once everybody like the brand will rise .

Did you buy yours from Singapore?

[feudallordcult]

if it floats yr boat, why not?

this is just not my cup of tea.

I brought from a fellow forummer here who brought it online and found it too big for his wrist .

no one can tell for sure. if can tell hor, we will making big bucks in future.

marketing plays one of the important roles for the rise of a brand. hublot is one example.

would u guys rather invest in U-Boat or Ball if you were given a choice?

I have also recently bought a Glycine Incursore 46mm Manual + Incursore 44mm ARCO SL Thought it was really value for money since the former has exactly the same movement as Panerai... Kenna poisoned by HG... Now hoping to add one more to the collection before Xmas ...

I support U-boat.....juz tat local prices are way too stiff.

Buy 2 from Bezel = 3 from Online

i think RXW in terms of looks is a closer alternative to panerai in some models

[marineguy8888]

i think RXW in terms of looks is a better alternative to panerai

U-boat have their own series ie flightdeck/thousand feet/classio/night vision .

Even though they are using ETA movement .

I noticed the older version of the classico come with a japanese movement compared to the newer ones that feature the ETA movement. Newbie question, will the japanese movement ones be a better purchase since they are already out of production (correct me if i'm wrong), hence more collecting value?

[ohlins]

quite unlikely.......... cos japanese movements are seldom sought after in the first place.....
