I have been lusting over a U-Boat for the last three years but have found it hard to justify paying 4k for a watch that 99% of people have NEVER heard of. The 51-30 is the perfect rip off for a fraction of the cost. I went with the wave series since I am sick of watches with too much shit going on. This is a dope watch!

It is huge compared to my other watches, but it also has over-the-top character. It's a bit too big to wear for anything more than business casual and it does take some getting used to. I was concerned it looked obnoxious, but got over it after a couple days of wearing it around. It's got nice features for the price. Screw down crowns are a nice touch. It's a great watch if you're looking for a bit of attention. I have a 51-30 and it's awesome. It is huge compared to my other watches, but it also has over-the-top character.

(coulda a bin a one off though). i like these chronos too.. in fact all of the nixon 51-30s are cool. but…. two things:

I usually find myself liking the 44-45 mm range, which is only one of two reasons I haven't picked up this Nixon yet. The other it being quartz ... I just love automatic watches. Something about it being able to save my life if I'm stranded on an island or something for a few years. Hey, it could happen. Might you take some wrist shots so we can see how big it actually is?
