U-boat

I'm still thinking on one of these - any experience anyone ?? Just something different, and fun - especially in summer (it won't fit under any shirt !)..

Looking at a 53mm Left Hook Auto...

I never saw one in person Dan but they look like a helluva watch

It seems like they all have the crown on the left hand side of the case.

i think they are a little too pricey for what they are. i like them, but they are a novelty.

That thing is huge. It would be great if you could point to a website and show some pictures of what you are looking at. You could also use it in place of brass knuckles in a pinch.

I have a U-Boat Classico AB1, black on black, the case size might be 53mm but still i like the way it looks and it keeps great time. I've got a lot of compliments on it because it is so unique. But the sole problem is it is 53mm and it is hard to get under a shirt sleeve. Overall I think it is a great watch.
