Hi all, am new to this forum so go easy with me.
am thinking of getting a BR 01-92 or the U-boat classico?
Which would you guys go for? in terms of value, brand heritage.

Also what else would you guys recommend in this price range?

thanks in advance

Between the 2, I would get the BR. But that is just my own personal opinion. Cheers.

With that price range?
I would get a Ball and call it a day. With some spare change.

IMHO Bell & Ross would be a better buy.

Have you considered a PAM base model or a pre-owned Rolex Sports model?

jacky8888 · « **Reply #4 on:** January 04, 2011, 07:04:12 PM »

Agreed .. go for preown rolex. But if u insist on buyin the above two, I would say b&r. Cheers

B&R for me. The suggestion for a pre-owned Rolex is a good one.

have a look at all the watches suggested and get the one that sings to you loudest.

terms of value, brand heritage - pre-owned rolex.
You cannot go wrong.

U boat classico for me is awsome..but i only like the 45mm diameter.the larger one is around 52mm,wich is too big for our asian wrist..the price is around RM5k ,wich is consider OK price compare to BR..

BR is a great watch (though i think it is slightly over-priced due to its design and fucntions)...so for me...U Boat wins

B&R

nksho · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2011, 02:18:34 PM »

thanks you all for the response. looks like B&R has alot of fans.
am thinking twice abt it now, as i'm quite intrigued abt pre owned rolex and perhaps a PAM. Always been a dream tho.
Anyone knows of a good place to hunt for good pre owned rolex, PM me thanks

BR for me or preown rollie...never into U-boat..even my fren may get it for me at more than 40% off

nksho · « **Reply #16 on:** January 05, 2011, 07:42:47 PM »

wow, i wanna get to know your frend

sshark · « **Reply #17 on:** January 05, 2011, 08:46:38 PM »

Come on dennis... dun let our secret out... opppss....

terrenceterrence · « **Reply #18 on:** January 05, 2011, 11:09:52 PM »

seriously i could never understand U-Boat.. wanna get an oversized watch? get a Pam, B-uhr or a B&R

best build quality for around that price range? a Rolex..bar none.

nksho · « **Reply #19 on:** January 06, 2011, 02:32:04 PM »

looks like the U-boat does not have many fans here. What abt the RSW diving tool?

@L · « **Reply #20 on:** January 15, 2011, 04:08:31 PM »

im going with the B&R; U-boat is nice, but its too big for me, i guess....
just my opinion; cheers

hanz079 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 15, 2011, 04:47:42 PM »

Between the two u mentioned? I would say B&R too...
But at that price point? I think alot have mentioned a pre-owned rolex... and you can lay low for awhile...

nksho · « **Reply #22 on:** February 19, 2011, 09:41:05 AM »

Just an update, thanks all for the opinions. I guess it's no longer a matter of what to get but which to get 1st. Im so screwed!

JustRolexes · « **Reply #23 on:** February 21, 2011, 09:37:05 PM »

BR for sure

duke916sps · « **Reply #24 on:** February 27, 2011, 08:12:38 PM »
