Happy New Year everyone.

Please follow the link below to read my review on this unique diver's watch. With it's well proven swiss movement and italian design it adds something different to this over-subscribed sector of the market.

Great review Ricsardo as always.

I've said before that I want to like U Boat but just can't see the value for money equation for me. Even in the stock ETA users I can think of a number of different manufacturers who offer more at the price point. Undoubtedly unique pieces though.

I think U-Boat are another love-it-or-hate-it design.

A few customers have poured scorn and derision over them but other have loved them.

We've sold 6 since we took them on. I think this is good going for a brand that is still relatively unknown in the UK.

Nice write up ricardo, although I would love to have another brand to fall head over heels about, unfortunately U-Boat does not leave me with that warm fuzzy feeling. It's not a case that I hate them, I just don't like them well enough to purchase one.
