I have been looking at the Flightdeck model for some time now and want to get one, acutely looking at a few real ones on ebay and wondering if spending the $2000 is worth it when there are so many good quality replicas out there any advice please.

That is a standard Asian 7750 movement with a decorated rotor.

Great set ,my first rep was a U boat flightdeck.I still have a soft spot for them.

Well after looking at so many rep of the U-Boat Flightdeck I decided to buy a real one, it's one big watch. My only complain is the band really looks cheep, now I want to change the band and still will look into getting a rep as well after I get used to the over size of this watch.

These are big and beautiful - really nice - well done!

 

Every U-boat rep I have handled has been superb. This U42 has a discrepancy with the model label on the dial below the canon pinion but otherwise amazing.

Hi Mirage, awesome collection. I'm chatting to Rochest about a Uboat now, the same as yours on the right of your collection with the orange markers but black dial/ white markers and black case. Are all your U-Boats from watch international and are you happy with quality of all of them particularly the one I'm interested in?

 

You mind me asking how much you paid for the watch on the right with the orange markers?

 

And also what is the name of that model, I can't find the exact one i want on the U-boat site and can only find reps online and none of them list the actual name of the watch or call is something different...?

Thats a great watch, Mirage. Enjoy!

 

I wan't a fan of u-boats but your recent acquisition and the picture of your collection has changed my mind. I must show it to a friend of mine who loves u-boats.

I love the looks of the uboats, Just wish the 42 in U42 would stand for 42mm or maybe 44 that are my current limit :D

I however need a new clock for my kitchen :P

This watch was purchased during a trip to China, Some member a couple of months ago found it on watcheden but it was out of stock.

The three other ones were as you said purchased from WI.

Great to know that even the CF PVD one is back in stock because it is a hell of a watch! I caan never decide wich between my CF PVD U-boat or my ss silver MB is my favorite watch... Depends on the occasion I guess!

 

Here it is with a gator strap from panatime.com. This is the strap the gen should have been equipped with IMO.

Awesome watch. This has convinced me to go with a U-Boat Flightdeck rep for my birthday.
