Wrist Check - 2019
Discussion
Mr_C said:
The internet suggests that your watch is one of only 20 of that design and cost a rather healthy amount. I like it.
It is indeed one of twenty, We won't be vulgar and discuss costs apart from I wouldn't have been able to put a new DSSD on my wrist but could have put a new Hulk there 
Wore it on our x-mas work do …. As a factory worker … whilst on the pool table, it got the (positive) comment of "you do like your watches" … If i'd gone the DSSD/Hulk route I just know the comments would have been more (made in jest) negative,
I do like that more under the radar statement

I was awaiting the ill-bred tasteless philistine's commenting so it's nice that the first comment is positive
You'll be in the minority with that comment on here,
Apart from the fun factor, there’s a great use of colour and contrasts that’s rare in a watch. Ok, it’s maybe not for every occasion, but I’d have one if I could. You'll be in the minority with that comment on here,

Must admit I begrudgingly admire the RJ PAC MAN! Certainly not for me but I do love a conversation piece and it’s a million times better than your B+R monochrome one!

Yours was all black monochrome IIRC like the RJ but much less legible-did you keep it? I can't see both watches being in the same collection but it's all in the eye of the beholder I guess!

Apologies, I'm getting the U-Boat confused with a B+R, my mistake, in my defence a customer I know well who has a B+R ha a U-Boat as well!

Unfortunately the U-Boat was a casualty of the great watch cull that occurred during 2018, A shame as when purchased I really liked wearing it, but as others came it's lure faded, … maybe I shouldn't add that the resell value was horrendous,Yours was all black monochrome IIRC like the RJ but much less legible-did you keep it?

I'd like to get from 15 to 7 watches this year but wont be getting rid of todays offering

still the everyday, got a new movement end of last year.
And just so we have an answer should the question come up in Trivial Pursuit …. How much was a new movement the cost? free thankfully. i got it about 2/3 years ago. it broke, got it serviced (£800) then it broke again twice since then so in the end they just replaced the movement. i’ll dig out the receipt but the cost is prob £8/10k
