You are too kind, Sal.
This one feels extra special. For many years it has been an unattainable grail. I believe I will appreciate it all the more now.
I fancy the newer SD in blue
Alas, the watch budget has just been drained for now ;-)
Congratulation on your killer Freak. That is the one to own. Enjoy [nt]

I admire so many Ulysse Nardin models, but this has always been THE one I wanted.
Came very close to a white gold Cruiser in 2016. Glad I waited and this came along.
Congrats MichaelC
That’s a freakin’ awesome watch !! I love that one. Great choice in black.
It seems more might like the blue with titanium, but the black is very much my taste on this model.
And that is not an easy call, blue being UN's hallmark color. As I have been awaiting the arrival, I have already dreamed of adding an older Blue Phantom to the mix.
Congratulations!
Fantastic watch. The new releases are no less impressive than the originals, but they feel a bit more unbuttoned. A dream of mine too, but a few many years away. I remember meeting Nelson at a UN event in Toronto and he’s a great guy.
The Cruiser style mechanism is what I call open and airy, a bit more structural.
The older ones, more dense and strong.
Don't give up on the dream, mine took 17 years!

Most sincere congratulations. I too join in welcoming you to the Freak club. It is a watch that is to be treasured and worn with absolute joy for years to come, long after the 44 year mark has faded.
The excitement of your post is absolutely priceless.
I am sure we all celebrate with you.

Mitch, you are one of the Freak leaders here!
It is great to join this small owner's group. I have always admired the watch and wonderful photos you guys contribute. The mechanism is quite fascinating to look at. Thinking back, I am not certain I ever strapped a Freak to my wrist before. Last Spring in Bermuda, I laid the pink gold Blue Cruiser atop my wrist. A year before in Chicago, I did the same thing with a Freak Lab. I saw a beautiful Freak Phantom in Vegas a handful of years ago. But yesterday marked the first time I fully tried it on.
Now, I will be doing that most days for the near future!
Thanks again, Mitch.

I'm fairly certain it was ear to ear.
Obviously, this was purchased site unseen, so to open the lid on the box for that first time, very special indeed.
I appreciate your kind words, Mo.

Perhaps these new titanium versions will help expand The Freak market share
In my case, it made it much more viable.
Huge Congrats 👏🏼
The Freak is a UN thats on my wishlist for a long time . Maybe i need to take a closser look at the watch in the near future and pull the trigger .
Wear it in best of health 🙏🏻🤗

Congratulations M !
It’s a beautiful stealth piece & above all best wishes to the birthday boy . May you have many more and Iam looking forward to see a 45th birthday treat .
I must say, it wears smaller than the listed 45mm. Surely the black case helps.
So despite the monstrous size, it is stealthy.
45... technically, I have a few days to make 44... the reward came early!

Let's just say this is not the only acquisition to commemorate the age ;-)
I can think of some rather cool photo sets...
If I may add myself to the congratulatory list ...
I know very well what it means to know that a specific timepiece will eventually be yours, but you have to wait .... and to wait ..... and to wait. In my case, I had to wait seven and a half years to fulfil my dream of wearing a UN perpetual, but this is by far not so long as your odyssey. Consequently, the anchor shape of your Freak's movement bridge is a symbol for you having arrived at your harbour, and I am happy to express my sincere congratulations! May it accompany you through all waters and currents of time!
