Watches - another OCD problem
-
I can only highly recommended the U1 (btw Alex the factory is only 1 hour away from me, so no online shopping
)You definitely get a lot for your money and compared to others, the asking price is very very fair. I had others and way more expensive ones before, but since I bought this one I didn't feel to go for something else. (beside maybe some vintage Rolex ones that are way out of my budget anyway)
This is my daily rocker since around 3 years and there is not a single scratch or whatever on parts like the rotating ring due this Tegiment harding German submarine steel its made out…
;)…..good choice!
-
i think i need this;-)
999€ @ globetrotter!
is cheap against ROLEX!!!thats what I mean and you don't need to worry or take much care of, things like to hit accidentally a stone wall or whatever with a 5000+ Euro watch only to see that you made scratches on to, it isn't the hottest thing… its no classic, but who need the show.... a bit like Iron Heart, quality one a excellent level minus the poser factor...

i wear my ROLEX 16610 about the History and quality….my daily rocker is the 16610!
I rock this bitch every day @ work,i am a mechanic and the 16610 make all things that i make too!
but i think a ROLEX has a real real soul and history OPTIK!......HISTORY=movement 3135,history(Gleitze,Wilsdorf, same Design(oyster case) :-!!! since the 50´s on the Sub,100% autarchic) :-but the U1 is a opinion in my mind!
i love my 16610 an d my 116200 and i never give it away!!!
i think the the U1 is a really good Choice......the history about the u boat steel is really freaky and cool!
Optik is lovely good too!
what i think is not soooo good is the eta movement :-
but i think i get the U1 soon toothanks ROCKET to anfixen!

@ Chris - http://www.chronomaster.co.uk/sinn_u_series.htm is this the same white one you remember?
Yep, Hectic, that's the one.
Gotta stop looking at watches; it's been a while since I bought one and I don't need to sucked into buying another. The wife is already hinting that I should clean out a couple that I don't wear often… -
my modest contribution to this thread. not much of a watch guy really, but this one has served me well.

That is a lovely watch you've got there, loghill. Classic chronograph design. Late 60s, is it?

What do you guys think of the Luminox 1848.
I dig this style but the price seems a bit high at 450, is it worth it, or are there any similar watches?

I've always been a big fan of the German stuff…Sinn, Stowa, and the independents like Thomas Ninchritz, Dornbluth, etc. Lately my day to day has been my Sinn 757, a TN Regulateur, PAM 000 (non German I know), or a Sinn EZM3. I also love the high end Japanese pieces, especially the high end quartz models. My EDC for about a year was a Citizen Chronomaster (was +1 sec/year on my wrist!). I am still working out how to post pics, but I have some to share.
