Balad1 0 Posted October 6, 2012 I am no expert but most of the smaller U-Boats I've seen are 21J and quartz versions. Here are a few examples: http://www.timeshops.net/u-boat/1228-u---boat-italo-fontana-pvd-japan-quartz-chronograph.html http://www.timeshops.net/u-boat/1232-u---boat-italo-fontana-black-japan-quartz-chronograph.html http://www.timeshops.net/u-boat/1449-u2986---u-boat-pvd-white-dial-green-mark---21j-automatic.html http://www.timeshops.net/u-boat/1451-u3005-u-boat-pvd-white-mark-quartz-chronograph.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on the movement they can be $88 to $300+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted October 6, 2012 Ted, is it your cat? He's sooo mean... I bought that cat for my son when he was 13 after his previous cat died. My son is now 30 and the cat recently died; he was a pretty cool cat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtwc 1 Posted October 6, 2012 RIP Cat. I love cats. We (me and her) have 2 now, a Maine Coon called "Funky Chunky Monkey" and a Bengal called "Clarence" (even tho' Clarence is a she). Monkey came with a sister, named by me "ASBO Kalamazoo", but she was killed a few years ago by some fucker driving too fast. My avatar is of GTWC (Gummy the Wonder Cat" - 'cos she lived to nearly 20 and had lost most of her teeth. My apologies for thread crapping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdee_ 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Hey guys! Yesterday I've got my 50 mm Flightdeck CAS BE reps and realized that they are too big for my wrist So now I want to find a 45 mm version, but can't find where to buy one. Can you recommend me online shops that can have a 45 mm Flightdeck CAS BE (the one with white dial and brown strap). Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
