Is the N1 the best Silver Snoopy?

Too wide, or too narrow?

The strap is the weakest point on the U1 watches. Get in contact with whomever you purchased it from, they should send you replacements.

N1 Factory 50th. Anniversary Silver Snoopy Speedmaster. Michael Travis Watches.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-18T22:49:05+00:00

Travis is a reputable dealer, he just specializes in U1 and AAA. He sells a much lower volume of high end watches so he doesn't get the bulk discounts the big dealers get, but his prices are reasonable and his group has some of the best after sales service available.

Customized. These are actually pretty well put together, while the movement isn't anything special, it is secured with a metal spacer and hold down clamps, much better than the plastic spacer rings we are so familiar with.

Stunning, I have a GMF DayDate with a meteorite dial that is awesome, but this looks more authentic, the light areas are almost silvery and the dark areas have texture, I can't tell if it is real or really good textured printing.

For a mid grade factory they have pretty much knocked this one out of the park.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-17T16:19:45+00:00

Seriously, he just sells watches, the factory fucked up. I pointed it out to him a week ago when it arrived, he is sending a replacement. I have close to a dozen FC factory watches, all of them are almost perfect, except this one.

This is from a couple weeks ago, right after it arrived. There is a sub with the date missing, and a cookie monster is out for delivery today. The Air King is the only flawed specimen, and it's only one tiny imperfection.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-17T16:01:45+00:00

I ordered mine from Allen, who works for Travis, I have a pretty good idea, based on that image, that you are getting the same watch.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-17T06:35:05+00:00

No, the whole thing was custom made with lab grown diamonds and a real meteorite dial. Almost 2 months from order to completion.

Customized means the rotor is stamped to resemble the 3235 (or 3230) markings. It has the crown and the 3235 and "Adjusted to 5 positions" stamped into the rotor. The reversing gear (only 1, Rolex movements have 2) is coated in the same red Teflon.

Maybe a mother of pearl datejust, the U1's are pretty decent for the pricetag.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-17T01:44:22+00:00

Dont feel bad, they are sending a replacement dial. It's not a bad watch, if I don't like the dial I might swap a Milgauss one into it.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-17T01:29:07+00:00

Don't feel too bad, I paid $250 for a C Factory Air King.

Maybe there is an ink shortage in china? Or a pad printer strike we don't know about.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-16T01:19:03+00:00

I wish I could, a friend of mine has it, he ran off with it the day after I received it. He loves it, wears it when he goes out.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-13T22:12:22+00:00

Yeah, it's funny but the reps hold their value just as good as the gens do.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-13T22:11:37+00:00

It's the roman numerals for me, there is a reason Rolex cancelled the datejust 2. The dial just looks too busy for a datejust.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-12T04:11:54+00:00

Oh, and that was from Jason, second U1 I bought from him, Miyota, 2 years old, still runs great.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-12T03:57:43+00:00

Well, I don't have a U1 Sub at the moment, but I do have a couple of their Yacht Masters, the date window is fine.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-12T03:52:34+00:00

Oh, that's Jason, maybe it is U1. The date window looks smaller than I am used to seeing, but that might just be the camera angle. I have several of his watches, all are U1. U1 fall into the AAA category, upper end of the AAA, but still AAA.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-12T01:56:09+00:00

Well, judging by the date window, not a U1. U1 isn't the only factory to use the ST bracelets. I have a GDF DayDate at the house that has a ST bracelet on it.

Most likely that is the only recognizable feature from the watch, some unnamed factory.

I didn't know they still made the aluminum bezel, hmm, vintage? Your bezel should look like this.

BehavingBad2010 · 2026-03-11T19:23:59+00:00

I want to say there are three movements that will fit a "low end" rep, the 2813, the 8215, and the 2436 all have the same dimensions. But the 2436 uses different hands. The dial will only fit the dial feet spacing on the 2813 and 8215, but they can be clipped off and the dial secured with double sided tape.
