  1. Got a secs@12 a weeks ago and now its starting to show problems. Runs perfectly fine with massive power reserve when placed dial face down. But when facing up right, such as on the wrist, it last at most 20 minutes and requires a shake to start again. Is this a sign that it is about to fail? Is there a remedy? I don't like in the USA, so shipping it off to get it serviced is rather difficult.
  2. Make sure you also get the F1 strap with red stitching with the watch.
  3. Brand new Gstaad. Wanted Orchard Road, but that was gonna take a few weeks. I have no photography skills.
  4. Will they release the grey dial version of this? Is there any news?
  5. Milgauss. Hard to really find any observable flaws. The GMTII is good, but the cyclops and ICHS can be quite annoying if you are neurotic about those things. I usually think people who say they can spot reps from 10ft away are full of crap, but the cyclops can really give it away. Kinda sad since its virtually perfect save for such an incredibly glaring flaw.
  6. Having a topic that says "Ulysse Nardin as one of the best watches ever" is like saying "Water is wet" or "Not getting hit by trucks is good for your health." Now if only they'd make a better version of the Rhodium MMD...
  7. I got one of these from Hont on special request a few weeks ago, which is essentially the UN's out by Hont now but with a different dial and hands. Size, movement, bracelet, etc are the same as all these releases. A really good rep for its price really, was pleasantly surprised. Clasp is a bit wonky and feels kinda weak, and apparently there is supposed to be lume, but maybe they ran out. Other wise the details are actually very well done. Numerals are well embossed and raised. Power reserve works and is actually quite good, which goes down around 1/4 over night but will charge up to almost full through out the day. AR also great. Font color a bit light on my watch, but who is really going to notice? Having handled the real deal, its a really good approximation, and I'm really picky and will take 2-3 months just to decide whether or not to get a watch. Not really a super rep considering its a 100 USD watch compared to a 30,000 USD watch. I do wear it to work few times a week and it has great wrist presence.
  8. Pro-Hunter Rolex GMT II ICHS. Worn everyday as a daily beater for almost 4 months straight.
  9. Still wearing my Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Anniversary 160.
  10. Ulysse Nardin Marine Chronometer Anniversary 160 Edition. Sorry for the crappy phone camera pics.
  11. Reps: none worth looking for in HK. You are going to have to go to Guangzhou. Gens: You've hit the jackpot. There is literally a boutique store for every high end brand, from Richard Mille to FP Journe. I think there are like 3 Audemars Piguet specialty boutiques. Other stuff worth checking out: depends on what you like to do really. elaborate further?
  12. It's been soon for quite a while though. Does any one actually have any idea around when the new UNs will be out, or at least some sort of preview?
  13. I'm really considering one of these as well. Aside from the backside, what are the main flaws of this watch? The only real flaw is that the subdial should not be metallic?
