changes afoot......... subs, to u-boats............

Over the past year my tastes in watches have been going mental, has this happend to anoyone else? Here a brief run down;

After working my way through most breitlings (currently trying to sell my last nav spat) I've just sold my rolex 14060m as I just got bored of it and bought a u-boat 45mm automatic.

Was just thinking, quite a drastic change! Cost differences oviously aside) I'm just loving the u-boats over an icon!

Well, I know exactly what you mean!
My taste varies from 34mm dressy models, to large divers...that`s why is good to have at least one watch for any occasion!
There`s nothing bad in following your taste, congrats on your new watch!
And, soon you`ll realise that you NEED another 14060!

Sorry I can't agree with that move...

UBoats are cute but really just a novelty in my mind instead of a fine quality timepiece.

BUT

What I think does not matter, it is what makes you happy

So I will say congrats on getting something you are enjoying!

I enjoyed the look of the U-boat, and had to look closer at "turndeaueouieueo"

Even the lady there said they were just a novelty watch. I was there to buy the cream color 45mm. She went further to say that the movements were.....subpar....

I wasn't too impressed when the saleswoman told me the last person who purchased a U-boat was a local rap artist who purchased 10 for his enterage.....That turned me off pretty good.
