Journal of the welder K24.
Hey all. Here is another welder that I took a few weeks back. This is a seemingly Stealth black designer of U-Boat qu’Italo Fontano.It came in a box close to the small water ordered with a logo in the rubber 3D welder on top. Fee! This case is really cool and useful. He made sure the job is to protect the watch when the type of Fedex dropped my package on the tiled floor of my office, right before me! He got all red in the face of embarrassment. I gesticulating away.
Inside the case was, of course the watch, an information sheet to place the watch and good for a strip of rubber shows available in October.
First impressions of the watch? Gee, it sorta reminds me of a U-boat, huh! Thus, instead of $ 5000 dollars I paid about $ 500 a watch of the same designer. Course, without a Swiss movement and about 18K gold seem like it, yea? Model wise you can see the similarities.
Second printing. This is a BIG Honkin WATCH! !
It spec’ed to 48mm. It’s just the frame. Add bar crown and chrono-buttons and your up to 60mm of the watch. It is about the greatest shows I’ve ever used.
The finish is excellent from what I can see. The credit union treated by IPB is a matte black. The K24 is that I ordered a white face and black chrono-treated with the fund by IPB and a black leather band. Stealth. The band also leather label hook metal signature of U-boat showing the logo welder.
Pulling this bad boy out of the case it seems to be a heavy competitor. Literally 120 gr. heavy. Since I use heavy, bulky watches hunky we have immediately felt a connection between them. Had to beat it over NOW!
Because I usually watches with metal bracelets I struggled a bit to put on the leather belt. A little stiff, as with any new band leather watch.
After a few moments I was on the watch and nice …… d’awwww shit! The crown is on the left wing, making this show a righty. I knew when I bought it will set fees for a righty. So after a few more times I got the watch off the left and put t on the right.
A little ripple and collapses around the clock arranged on my wrist. So I conducted the test cable, wrist bent up and down. Contacts crown but he did not consider my qu’intrusif against the upward-bent wrist. Surely this would be perfect on my left wrist. BUT ya would be a righty on your left? Hmmmmmm.
On the back of the case there is some information engraved etching on the movement, equipment, diving depth and weight. Also the serial number.
After I played with the functions. Nothing special. It worked like any quartz clock-. Setting the clock was nothing special.
The date window is located at position 9. Clear and easy to read.
The face is black with mat numbers and index white. Luminous hands and number 2, 4, 8 and 10. The small-time clock is also light as well as chronological time. How bright? Meh, it’s over ok, but correct light. Compared to my SKX-007 Diver Seiko is low.
So what is the verdict? This is a cool show, great for the crowd hunky squat. The U-boat of love but can not afford love me? Here ya go. Great styling and excellent finish and guaranteed to make you look a little thinner (remember 60mm?) That you would just end.
