JohnG 41 Posted July 22, 2009 Love no 1 - very elegant indeed I knew you would dig that one - That one I got for maybe forty - forty five bucks with shipping.... Will probably sell the uboat chrono on RG/RWG2 - don't need two and like the non-chrono better (I think).... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chriszammett 0 Posted July 22, 2009 really like the uboat ones - been keeping an eye on them on ebay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chriszammett 0 Posted July 22, 2009 what's the strap width on the uboat ones? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted July 22, 2009 what's the strap width on the uboat ones? On the flight deck homage (round one) it is (according to seller) 23mm - it is definitely a little smaller than my cheapy pam which is 24mm. The thousands of feet (square one) is 26mm. They will both need sick custom straps later.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted July 22, 2009 wow - that's a great watch for the dough... Just checked, cost me $42.77 with shipping. I am a fucking eBay MACHINE!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KBH 7 Posted July 22, 2009 Number 1's nice but, That #2 looks like it's missing the bezel.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted July 22, 2009 Number 1's nice but, That #2 looks like it's missing the bezel.... does kinda look that way - maybe I could take the bezel off a sub and make a mini-thousands-of-feet.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted July 23, 2009 You've bought like half the catalogue! LoL I've got my eye on a couple though, including that top one. What's the quality like? All good? For the price I'm not sure you can really go wrong! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the price I'm not sure you can really go wrong! I think they are really outstanding! The movement is the standard Asian handwind (except for chrono, that is quartz), case finish is really nice, dial printing excellent, I can't find fault AT ALL. And since they are not copies, we don't have to worry if a font is just right and all that nonsense.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted July 23, 2009 I've got my eye on a couple of the Parnis ones so will get pics up if I can get them at a decent price! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted July 23, 2009 I've got my eye on a couple of the Parnis ones so will get pics up if I can get them at a decent price! If you are bidding on eBay, post the auctions you are going to bid on in the thread at the top of this forum - "Sticky: The OFFICIAL CUST WATCH EBAY DON'T BID ON MY WATCH THREAD" - that way we don't bid against each other. I have a few I am following, but if I see you post some up there, I won't bid on them, got enough for now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Member X 91 Posted July 23, 2009 Just thought - that second one, the thousands of feet one, that's a sandwich dial, isn't it? Do I hear re-lume and sterile dial? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 41 Posted July 24, 2009 Just thought - that second one, the thousands of feet one, that's a sandwich dial, isn't it? Do I hear re-lume and sterile dial? Oh yes you do!!!!! So I posted this up at RWG.cc - see what happens (they don't like me there, one mod still trying to get me banned - because they are "A-list" and I am a cretin). Should be a total flop like my last thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
