Balad1 0 Posted April 10, 2011 In response to a question by my Bro mikencnair regarding just how large a 50mm U-Boat wears, I've taken these quick photos. In the past I was hot for the U-Boat and only after discovering my 7.5" wrist won't support the larger version did I give it up. I am no expert on these watches but have done some research in the past. Anyone with better or more current knowledge please feel free to share. Breitling Seawolf Avenger 45mm....................... U-Boat/Parnis 50mm............................... Rolex DSSD 43mm.......................... U-Boat Quartz, 44mm *this photo best shows just how large this watch wears. As shown in the above photos the 50mm U-Boat / Parnis is one LARGE watch and it takes more than an average wrist to pull it off. It's not just the 50mm width it's the 18-19mm depth that is BIG. These photos don't do justice to just how LARGE it wears....but I do love the design. PS: No, I don't wear it, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormcrow 0 Posted April 10, 2011 This is a very good refrence thread for n00bs (like myself) who initially want to see the difference between different case diameters. Nice watches too LOL; and I am thinking the DSSD is too fat for my wrist... Snap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted April 10, 2011 SeaWolf is, actually, 45,4mm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balad1 0 Posted April 10, 2011 SeaWolf is, actually, 45,4mm. Thanks, Luthier, you are correct, I'll change it to 45mm. Also adding some side wrist shots to better show the depth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balad1 0 Posted April 11, 2011 From what I've noticed the U-Boat reps in the 43-47mm range are a scattered lot, not sure about homage in that size. If I remember correctly most (or all) sub 50mm reps are quartz. The new KeNnY might know as he's the one that was well informed on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted April 11, 2011 These cases do wear big, I was kindly bequethed one and it's massive! They wear about as big as the other, square shape 50mm UBoats - i.e. you won't get them under dress shirt sleeves... lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeNnY 29 Posted April 11, 2011 The new KeNnY might know as he's the one that was well informed on them.[/b] ahh Balad As for the question, Mike, the Jacksontse can find 45mm version of the 50mm U-boat.

I've got one on the way from Robert, I'll post pics when I get it. I have large wrists though so I'm hoping it looks good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rav747 0 Posted April 12, 2011 I don't have a huge wrist to pull this off. But I will be seriously considering the 44mm version with cream dial and black numbers and dark red/brown strap. I saw that on the website and loves the combo. Do they make gens that small or is it a fantasy watch? Thanks for the pics, Ted. I was going to give the 50mm a shot. But now, its a def a negative Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
