Sorry to hear all this, Jeff. Hope you figure out a way to keep it, I think it’s the perfect U and agree with Hop that’s it’s probably going to be hard to find another one down the road.
Thanks and i know you're both right. I'll figure it out. I could always sell a couple replaceable Seikos, but it's kind of hard to sell anything right now

That sucks man. I get it though. The beginning of 2021 we started getting medical bills and it has continued into this year. My wife got a knee scope done a few months back. I had a few days in the hospital this time last year, had x-rays-ct scan done earlier this year when I was sick. And now I’ll have an urgent care and x-Ray bill for my ankle from last week. My doctor hates insurance companies and always tells me that’s why the prices are so high. My wife got charged an extra $1800 for the surgery lasting 15min longer than planned… wtf?

I'm not sure if it's the insurance companies or the medical providers. Her hospital bills for two days were over $50k, and then a company charged $9k just to send a heart monitor in the mail that she had to return. Huh? Of course I'm not responsible for all that, but being self employed I don't have the greatest insurance so I'll pay a good bit. I was really hoping my Sinn would come later in the year, but I think I will try to keep it.

Medical expenses are crazy. The providers charge so much because of the insurance companies. I’ve seen bills from long term NICU stays that parents have shown me… and it’s so stupid. $50 for a pacifier, $90 for a pack of disposable leads we change daily…. Insanity.

My dr told me about when Prilosec came out in the 1980’s, he said it was a dream come true for people with heartburn because it was the first medicine that worked well. He said it was initially expensive at the time at $1 a day= $30 a month. He said when the insurance companies got ahold of it it went to $3 a day.

If my wife and I didn’t make the decision a long time ago to go with what is essentially the platinum healthcare plan available at her job (and is way better than anything at mine), we’d literally be bankrupt with all of my son’s medical needs. No joke.

That looks great, Ed. So much better than the single pass straps you usually favor.

Thanks Chris. I like the comfort of the single pass Zulus strap, mostly because it is overall less height and softer material usually. That said, these NATO’s with black hardware really work with that watch.

I always cut off the bottom strap on natos and basically turn them in to a single strap but keep the nato look. I don't get the point of that bottom strap at all.

The maratac titanium zulus would work really well on these too.

Sadly only the black one fits well. The others are a bit thick.

I bought PDW titanium NATO for my regular U50. Will try it on the U50 Pro whenever I get tired of the bracelet. Blasted TI matches the sub steel almost perfectly.

Nice. I’ve had the green one in my cart numerous times. May just need to pull the trigger.

Thanks Ben. It appears to be a regular buckle with a spring bar. Thanks

Well I’m not as bad as Gerard. But I fell last night out in the yard and got a nasty sprained ankle.
U50P just got delivered to cheer me up.
Perfect watch. Love it.

What a watch this is. Gutted to have missed out on the initial sale.

Some great pictures of it in here though

I find that the overall visual, the look on the wrist isn’t that different, but the comfort and lighter weight of the little brother makes it the winner.

I have to throw the u50p on a matching Hirsch extreme and then compare.

It looks a lot smaller but much lighter.

Don't forget, also better movement SW300 in U50 vs SW200 in U1.
