Independents

Dear all, As promised, I wanted to share with you my first independent purchase - an Urwerk UR-203!! With all of the wonderful stories on the forum, I had been eyeing the possibility of purchasing an Independent piece. I had dabbled with some of the brand...  

Let us know how you get on with it and don’t forget to join us for Wristscan.

And see if I can provide a shot... Cheers, Peter

That PT950 case is very special just like the watch box is shockingly heavy too! Do share photos when you can.. there are lots of crazy bright colours to choose from and some exotic leather too! I personally love the nylon strap. 🍻 James

And changing to the straps recently acquired from Urwerk. I didn’t go super bold in colors but the new strap that I received from the UR220/UR105TTH line will be fun to install and wear. Cheers and thanks!! Peter

I’m hoping this stays “under the radar” for my adventures in the US, though I would be thrilled to see another Urwerk collector on the street! Cheers Peter

Hope you will enjoy this Urwerk as much as i enjoy my 103T . Looking forward to see more pics when you have it

Helped inspire me to look at Urwerk more seriously. Take care, Peter

And an early supporter of the Indie movement. Looking forward to seeing how it fits vis a vis the rest of the collection. Maybe I can finally put some watches down for a little bit!! Cheers, Peter

I’m very happy for you, Peter. I hope you are united with your new acquisition very soon 👌🏽

It was a long wait and a long story dealing with US customs so when it finally arrived I was relieved. Cheers and looking forward to sharing with you the Urwerk journey!! Cheers Peter

Hopefully you’ll get it on the wrist soon. Look forward to the wrist shots.

And I think your passionate, prolific posting of your Urwerk was a big selling point for me. It’s not the typical Patek, AP, or Rolex purchase where I feel I’m continuously trying to climb the Seven Summits and procuring the latest and greatest and hottes... 

Makes the wait even more exciting

Though I handled other Urwerk models before, I can take a wild guess what this will feel on the wrist with the extra mass. What interested me a lot here was the skeletonization and the platinum of the model. ‘Many thanks and hope to share observations soo... 

I am very happy for you, sick watch !

This would be the third venture into a dark-metal watch - I’ve got a Panerai PVD and an AP Ceramic, so I’m looking forward to seeing how this compares. I assume much more like Panerai!! Cheers and thanks! Peter

Also appreciate your photos and experience to get me excited about joining the family. Your 202s is absolutely stunning - and I can’t imagine how cool it must be with an Urwerk engineered bracelet. Cheers and thanks for the kinds words! Peter

To also get a feel prior to considering to bid. You have been a great source and supporter for many Indies - and your videos have been extraordinarily informative. I’m looking forward to sharing the experience! Cheers Peter
