Just wanted to share a couple of quick pictures following the receipt of this amazing watch yesterday. I will do a detailed write-up a bit later, but for sure I am a happy customer. ...  

Looks superb on your wrist!!

Huge congrats! Looks amazing

UJ is such an underrated brand. And this dial is so clean. I can’t wait to see some movement shots. What a beauty!

in stainless steel, 42mm and priced reasonably. I believe buying the watch comes with a factory tour!

Such a great choice!

Almost does not count!

if it lost 4mm! But then again, it could also have meant I could have been married eight times instead of four due to some minor details. The point is a minor detail for some (like 4mm!) is pretty major to me

I bought an Urban Jurgensen Series 5 in 35mm. It was a beautiful watch but because it was new old stock, it required a service a few months after buying it. As there was no authorised dealer in the UK, I had to bring my watch to Geneva where the sales dir... 

I try to poison you with new watches but that doesn’t work for the moment. I have to find new ways 😁 Best wishes Alkiro

Please never stop!!! Hey, guess what after 4 years of deliberating (it just shows how uncreative I am!!), I have finally found a dial for a Vingt 8 for me. I have sent it to Kari and he is probably cursing away I would not blame him one bit if the suggest...

If he does, it will really be my dream watch (surpassing even the RW Smith) as this would be based my dream dial. I am almost certain that it will no be accepted though but that's understandable.

I will PM you and let you know.

with any small independent is whether they will even be around 5 or more years from now to service the watch and provide parts. UJ makes super-great perpetuals but I bet people factor that in when contemplating a purchase of such a complicated watch.

Not to mention the resale value factor!

Gorgeous UJ Alfred 👌🏻😘 please wear it in best of health . Also hope you find some time to post some more pics soon. 🙏🏻

Nice watch! I like the hands...and the movement is not bad at all!

It looks like it is made from high quality card stock.

Thanks for sharing the photos. Can you give us an update with your thoughts after a few days with the watch.

Wonderful watch it is ! those lugs, unique hour hands, textured dial...simple & gorgeous!! Best, Mahesh.,

First of all, it was a pure joy to meet Mr Soren Petersen in person in Biel/Bienne and learn a lot about this historic brand, handle some of the watches from the current collection (and a couple of pieces from the past) and take the manufacture tour. A sp... 

You have a beauty there, and the finishing of the movement is extraordinary. Sometime ago I placed an order for an 1140L which will be delivered in September. Seeing yours makes wish I could get it now!

I have just seen the grenade and guilloche dial watches at the manufacture - and these look amazing! They did not have one with an enamel dial for me to look at, but Mr Petersen says it is something truly special.

I've seen the enamel-it is gorgeous. Actually, all the dials are gorgeous!

Now that you've had this for a few more months, I was wondering if you still feel great about this watch. I have been looking at a Breguet 7147 with the enamel dial, but the second hand in the slight recess (which is hard to even see in person) seems odd ... 

Thanks for sharing. Vte

The lugs are absolutely stunnng and the back...woah! VERY nice!

Very nice and easy-to-wear watch. ...
