Just recently, I found a Freak 1.0 for sale ...
... however, I admit I would be cautious with that. If it has not shown problems until now, chances are not bad it might remain so. Otherwise, a rebuild to 1.5 standard is quite an investment ...

Ulysse-Nardin Freak Cruiser in Pink Gold
Friends, I know we seen this one many times before… But I can never get tired of looking at this Ulysse-Nardin Freak Cruiser in Pink Gold! So different, so cool, so out there – so Freak! As said, never get tired of looking at this one… Not even upside-dow...
If I had to own only one UN one day, it would be a Freak without any hesitation. I love this watch, its shape, its concept... a lot.
Thanks for the reminder. Best wishes Alkiro
It depends if you help me to finance my project 😁
No, I would like the Freak Diavolo but it’s too expensive for me unfortunately. I would be really happy with one of the first model in 42.5mm 😍 Best wishes Alkiro

Is the 1.0 - 1.5 cost more than a standard service cost?
Thought it was one and the same?
No I meant is 1.0 - 1.5 upgrade service priced higher
than a standard Freak service cost.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I can only guess here. I heard high costs for the upgrade. As for the standard Freak, I don't know...
As it is not supposed to be serviced each 5 years as a normal watch... Due to its silicon parts. Best, Nicolas
Yes. Unless you specifically demand your 1.0 to be kept in this state ...
... which would cause UN to deny any further warranty for the functionality of the movement, any 1.0 sent for service - working or not - will automatically be upgraded to 1.5 standard. Many years ago, I was told the price for this, but I forgot the exact ...
My lust for the WG Blue Cruiser is well known.
Luckily, when I was able to handle one in Bermuda earlier this year, it was pink gold (so as to not tempt me tooooo much). But I am pleased to help pile on for you ;-) ...
PS, the one I show is the Cruiser version
Some key differences to the Diavolo version you depict. But, with the Freak, there is no wrong choice!
Thank you!
Yes, the WG/Blue is a great version! Didn't have the chance to see that one this time... Best Blomman
Funny, the early Freaks really looked good in pink gold as well ...
.... but this "softened" case design of the cruiser is too conventional and thus appears like any very massive watch. Here, the pink gold adds to the massiveness, while white gold helps concentrating on the "dial". Marcus
