UBoat Classico VS Lumtec LZ4 Eurozilla ?!!?

[assylo]

Torn between these two beauties. Been eyeing a large watch for a weekender.

I have been pretty set on my first U Boat Classico until I came across this Lumzilla.

Need some opinion!!

Lum-Tec all the way, i just love the look over the plain classic look of the U-Boat, the Lum-Tec's lines are so crisp and clean.

Not a fan of that huge "winder"? on the U-boat. both are sharp looking watches those. Its seems that Lum-Tec has gather popularity in the last several months. Good on them, I sure do want one haha:drool:

[npham]

Do you wear your watch on the right or left hand? If you wear it on the left, it looks like the U-Boat's huge winder is on the left side, so that would dig into you.

I dig the Lumzilla, but I'd probably chose the U-Boat of the 2.

[flipstah]

I'm not a fan of the blue face for the Lum-Tec nor the crown on the left side for the U-Boat.

Out of the two though... Lum-Tec. Looks cleaner and classier.

That U-Boat is just too pronounced.

[taemo]

I'd pick the U-boat
not a big fan of colored dials unless black or white and I don't dig the roman numerals

The lumzilla is a 50mm watch. That's pretty pronounced

^50mm watch is way too big IMO. the oversize look has definitely become passe

A good reason why I haven't bought a U-boat yet. Big watches never appealed to me.

To answer OP, I'd take the Uboat. I like Lumtec, but I don't think the quality is on par with the Uboat

I like big watches, but holy shit that's ridiculous.

[lint]

the 45mm UBoat isn't that bad at all. My Lum-Tec's are 44mm cases and I think they work for me. I think 47 would be about as big as I would go.

But your wrist may vary

Excessively big watches are about as cool as a flat-brimmed hat w/stickers and affliction/random mma gear/skin industries/fox t-shirt and white sunglass combo.

In a diesel truck with wakeboarding stickers.

^^whew! good thing i got rid of the stickers off my flat brimmed authentics! lol

[JRSC00LUDE]

^ You're all right, I'll let it slide! :D

keep your sask douchebags to sask please, dont need to give people anymore ideas out here :rofl:

but generalizing watches like that is rather rude. its more of a wrist to watch ratio than just the size of the watch. if you are a big boy a 39mm classic sized watch is going to look weird, just as if you are a little guy with more of a ladyboy physique a 50mm watch will look weird

[MM99lude]

That Picture of the Lumzilla is ridiculous. It does not look nearly that big. I'm wearing mine today - I'll post a comparison shot for you.

[MM99lude]

http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af229/mm99lude/Lumzilla2.jpg That is a 1.25" paper clip

My wrist circumference is 7.25"


Hope that helps.

out of curiosity, what would these watches retail for new? I always thought it was a lot more expensive to get into these types of watches even if buying used.

[assylo]

Lum-Tec's vary between $400-$1000, with the difference being quartz and automatic (swiss or japanese mov)

uBoat's are up there in pricing, but you can find a used one (depending on model) for significantly less.

[sillysod]

I paid around $4000 for my flight deck in Vegas a couple yrs ago at a jewelers in the MGM Grand.

But anything under $5000 really is pretty entry level for watches.
