Getting seriously drawn to one of these at a fraction of the cost, anyone know the seller or how they are so cheap. Seems to good to be true but the seller does have great reviews.

Also can anyone point me in the direction of a new strap for my submariner?

Thanks
U-Boat are not cheap as the 7750 is a generic every day movement .. I like mine but don't see where all the money went,

If I had my time (get it) again I'd have bought something like this

As it's not as mahoooosive as the 53 case is
And that does bring out a bit of the point and laugh in others,

I think within my field of friends once all the ribbing was done, It's just another watch...!
The 53mm case can be a bit big and I'm always overly careful not to catch it on something,
The pain is it never fits under sleeves ...
I'm awaiting delivery of another similar cost watch,
I think I've only ordered the new watch as I do not like wearing the U with sleeve's, It was always on my wrist through summer though smile
I'd seriously consider the 47mm if you are desperate to have a U

Also have a look at Clerc watches if you like an angular look.

Really want one myself but other priorities are, well, taking priority frown

This thread got me looking at Corums, saw a nice looking Admiral Cup's Seafender 44 chrono.
Any views/ownership experiences on here?
How does £3k for a 4 year old watch sound? Don't think it would depreciate any lower than this if it's kept in good nick?
