Wow! What a fantastic UN collection! The Discovery box is really special too! Thanks for sharing Dave!
Long awaited family reunion!
My first UN was a Marine Annual Calendar Chronograph. Next I was likely one of the first in line to acquire a Blue Max. Third came a blue dialed San Marco Dual Time. Then, after beating up numerous workmates over taking out a 2nd on the mortgage of their ...
I can not find words
as i see your watches. It take my breath away. Four beauties, four great superb watches. It reminds me to make speed up to get my first Ulysse Nardin watch. Nicolas have great Freaks, but do not forget his Sonata’s! Greetings also from my cat Miep. ...
Cute cat you have inDepth
I like my black cat. You like black cats. Justins his Jesse J and Yukozuma are cute too. This cat visit my house for some food. It is a clochard. ...
Wonderful...
Bravo... The set looks beautiful. I have a soft spot for the UN products. I love their innovative spirit. All the best... HEO
Good to see them reunited.
I'm not sure what to say about the first part of the story. Most wives would divorce a husband who took out a second on the mortgage to buy a watch! So I think you made a good move to get rid of the extra debt at the time. And now you own them anyways, so...
Here's the kicker... at that store she was the one who first saw the watch in the case and knowing how much I loved it (and that they might be nearly sold out) brought it to my
attention. We were dating at the time. Then after I lamented that it was probably out of my reach SHE said "you could take out a 2nd on your condo"!!!!!!! Yes, she also loves mechanical watches (not quarts) and yes we are meant for each other. Can't get h...
Thanks. Besides wanting to rapidly pay down the 2nd and therefore reduce interest I got caught up in an emporer's new clothes situation regarding size. All of those let go pieces
are 40mm... but now 40-42mm is once again my preference.
Love it. In fact there used to be a Tourneau near us that had one of these. I kept going back to look at it and came very close to buying it. Same size as my perpetual I believe
(42.7? correct me if I'm wrong) which is on the cusp but not too big. A wonderful red watch! You can always hunt one down again. These three UNs are not the only pieces I've let go of and then repurchased. I think I'm down to only one more I wish I'd have...
Ah, the U-Ns I have loved and lost (bought
Maybe we could have a Wrist Scan on watches I regret selling …
Those were the best UN years…
Like you I was a prolific UN collector. I have kept all of mine. Still in the collection: ...
A few missing…
Need to do another family shot at some point. The set is the Columbus set which came first. The Discovery set followed.
Wow, Dave. Thank you!!
I recall flirting hard with that beautiful Columbus set. You photos inspire to share a small secret. I bought an old UN about a month ago and it is at the US service center. I have yet to see it live, I only have the B&P so far. But it went from the origi...
Very cool Michael…
You have me wondering what it is! Hope you post photos upon arrival! Dave
Certainly I will.
And the post will credit you for years of torment, and add the typical request for contribution if you really feel guilty ;-)
Blue max dimensions
Hello, Would you be able to take some precise measurements from your blue max? I have heard the diameter is 39, and 40. And the thickness is 13.2, and 12.3. If there is a better place to look that up definitively please help me with a link. This watch is ...
