Finally got a chance for some "proper" pics of the U1 B I've had since mid Jan









As you can see the lovely dial really does change colour depending on the way the light hits it.

I bought the watch with the bracelet, but it just looks so good on the rubber, I've not even considered fitting the bracelet.

I covet that and am seriously considering a U1.
Lovely watch.

I'm a big Tudor watch fan but I think I would take that over a Pelagos. Loving the rubber strap and bit of Orange. may have to raid the piggy bank smile

Thanks for the reply. I'm always wearing my IWC Aquatimer, which i think is the same size and feels small on my wrist now. I've never purchased a watch online. What are the safe sites to purchase from, if you don't mind me asking.

I got mine from a trusted seller on Chrono24, but you can buy from Sinn directly, or Chronomaster in the UK, if Neil has it in stock.

Andy. How does the watch sit on your wrist? Do the lugs and strap do a good job of wrapping round it?

Started to think about just putting a blue rubber strap on my Black Bay Blue but this review has put me off as was thinking of Everest Straps.

I do have the 'Smilie' though as it fitted much nicer on my wrist to the new In-House movement version that sits too high for my liking.

Cheers.

Perhaps not the most illustrative picture but I'd say yes



My wrist is 7.25"
