I have been looking for another GMT watch. The UN GMT Perpetual in White Metal is at the
top of my list. It is a marvel as the
movement is very simple for a Perpetual with GMT function. I like the original 38.5 mm as the dial and
the hands are very simple, not drawing unnecessary attention.
The Ulysse Nardin Sonata Streamline with the ceramic bezel actually is at the
other end of what I want but I am warming up to this.
It is big but it is more of a fun watch like the Alain Silberstein watches. The dial actually reminds me of the Fendi Monster Eyes.
This Sonata Streamline while loud but most would think it is
a just funky watch. I can probably get less attention than a Rolex 18K GMT2.
What scares me is the complication of the movement. This watch has 109 jewels but it also has the
new silicon parts. I am just wondering
if it would cost an arm and a leg to service this watch. In fact, this is one of my worries about
getting any UN watch. If my Rolex needs
service, I just take it to RSC. I am in
LA area, RSC in Beverly Hills is only 30 miles from me. Full service for a DD is $800 and it takes
about 3 weeks.
I live in Los Angeles area not in Timbuktu. I searched the UN web site and could not even
find any UN Service Center near me.
