Ulysse Nardin

Need advice and suggestions

Hello everyone,

I need some advice or suggestions and I am hoping that you can help me.

I’m always looking at watches and when one catches my eye I like to do research. In this case It’s the Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph titanium liquid metal with the co-axial caliber 9300. As of right now I believe they only make it with a blue dial and blue bezel. The retail cost is roughly $10,500 dollars.

I currently own a Ulysse Nardin Limited Edition Blue Max watch where only 999 pieces were made and no longer in circulation unless you go to eBay, you might find 1 or 2 on sale, but for much more than what I paid for mine through an AD.

This is where I can use your help. I really like the new Omega, but it’s in blue just like my Ulysse Nardin. If they had one in black which I’m assuming they will eventually make, would be nice and it would be different from my UN in that sense. The other thing that concerns me is the price tag. $10,500 dollars is a whole lot of money to put down because of the new technology of titanium and liquid metal. They have the same watch made in black in stainless steel for $8,000 retail. What I do like of the more expensive one is that since it is a 45.5mm watch, the titanium liquid metal would make it much lighter and probably more comfortable to wear.

My though has been since the Omega and UN are both blue and both divers should I sell the UN and then purchase the Planet Ocean titanium liquid metal or should I not sell my UN since it is a limited edition and no longer in circulation and just finance the Omega even though it is in blue or should I wait and see if they make a black one in the next few months and then finance that one. I’m just not sure what to do in this case. Also, I have some question that maybe you can help me with too.

1) Do you feel that $10,500 is worth paying for this Omega watch?

2) I know UN is considered a high end watch company, but I believe that mine has a highly modified ETA

movement vs the new 9300 Caliber in house movement of Omega. In this case would the UN still

be considered more of a prestige watch than the Omega?

I would really apreciate everyones input on this.

Thank you,
