Hi folks, Just landed- the UN Sonata Streamline with the ceramic bezel! Very excited! Quick iPhone photo. I cannot, for the life of me, remove the strap though! Can anyone help? Many thanks, Chi Kai ...  

UN watches have a lot of personality. They're also very well made and the brand offers first rate service. I'm sorry I can't help you with the strap question. M4

They do indeed! Very whimsy and left field in design. BW, Chi Kai

The Sonata has been on my “grail” list of watches for almost a decade. I am over the moon that I have finally achieved it! I went with the more “modern” Streamline as I really love the case work. It is a bit big but wears very comfortably! Will post more ...

Functionality and looks are tops. But as it is a very large watch, wearability can be affected a bit. After wearing it for a few days, I would switch to one of my smaller watches for a few days. Still love it and over the moon about it though! Are you thi... 

agreed, its a bargain on the secondary market! i'm between the UN and the Blancpain Leman Alarm which is 40mm... ...  

You can’t compare the Sonata to the BP. The BP is a very nice looking watch but the hammer and gong on the Sonata produces an alarm sound that is almost like minute repeater.

I also like the 24hr countdown on the Sonata… The big date is nice too for my aging eyes

There are lots of videos on YouTube. Once you have heard it, you will be hooked. Agree it Is not loud enough to wake you up and to be honest, I would use my phone for that. The Sonata works really well as a “reminder” watch. Let’s say I need to make a cal...
