Toadtorrent Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Ok...I think everyone's starting to feel your UN love here. Is it my imagination or have the number of Ulysse Nardin posts in the past little whilte increased exponentially??? If ever there was an RWG UN Ambassador...you be it!!
Shundi Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Very much agreed...shame the rep picking are so slim... I did just get a vintage Venus 170 based chrono in the mail today and those are the other things he's posted about frequently!
Fidestro Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 RobbieG is the love child of UN and a Chinese sweatshop.
Fidestro Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Seriously though, it is good to have people like RobbieG and Shundi on here to geek out on movements with. Lots of knowledge here. More so than many other watch places I have hung my hat.
Shundi Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 RobbieG is the love child of UN and a Chinese sweatshop. HAHAAHHAA LMAO seriously that is amazing! No no, I think it's UN and VC
Fidestro Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 HAHAAHHAA LMAO seriously that is amazing! No no, I think it's UN and VC There is a Chinese/Engrish/Mispronouncing joke there but I would offend a good chunk of the board if I posted the damn thing.
Toadtorrent Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 It's been great seeing all the new brand and movement discussion going...much to do with RG's contributions. I do like the Love Child moniker...too funny.
RobbieG Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Sorry dude, flying the flag. Hopefully it will translate to the factory dogs who are patrolling these boards to realize they would have a lot of people flocking to UN if they make more of them. But here is a key point which I think all can see from some of the other threads. The factories need to realize THE 2892 EBAUCHE connection and how UN built the whole Marine line with it's capabilities being so diverse and elegantly simple. They shoud really consider doing it right with the 2892 clone and just doing Asian modules for them if possible. It would really be perfect if they could figure a way supply wise and module wise to make that happen... .02

Toadtorrent Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Posted March 3, 2009 Man...if they could sort out the 2892 issue...the things they could do with copying the right movements. It's funny how the mind of the "cut costs at all cost" decision maker works. For a few pennies more, they COULD make a solid Seconds at 6...and with a little bit of effort ("little" being amortized over the number of movements that would be made)...they could copy solid, versatile movements like the 2892...but no. Hopefully though, the manufacturers don't just see people flocking to UN...but the RIGHT UN's...and not the ones that to me seem a little "Harlequin-esque".
guinea Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 These threads are great. I've had a UNMD on my list for a wee while. Last week in Vegas I tried a couple on and fell in love with the burgundy faced version with the steel strap. The assistant couldn't be more helpful and offered me it at a large discount. Unfortunately due to the way the
jmarin.72 Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 If ever there was an RWG UN Ambassador...you be it!! Wow man...that really sounded wayyyy too deep...RWG UNITED NATIONS AMBASSADOR...

ammandel Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Actually, theres enough UN posts about these days for it to have its own forum area isnt there?

Fidestro Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I still think we have more Hublot threads than UN threads. If I see a Hublot section I am going to abandon ship.
lanikai Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 what everybody else said... ditto here's to sunset cruise vouchers
ammandel Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Not to rain on anyone's parade, but I still think we have more Hublot threads than UN threads. If I see a Hublot section I am going to abandon ship. On second thoughts, I'm with you..

Fidestro Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Roman Times at Forum Shops? That was what I was going to say! I PMed him before he left and recommended some places, one of the ladies at Roman Times cost me a few grand last year.

If I see a Hublot section I am going to abandon ship. Hublot? Oh dear God. Hang on, before that section opens let me find some pants than don't fit, a bad attitude, and my lowered Hummer... ... ... ... ... ...Just kidding kiddies, don't go getting your Hilfiger's in a bunch now...
guinea Posted March 3, 2009 Report Posted March 3, 2009 Roman Times at Forum Shops? Yup. I have to say, the assistant was smart. She really new her stuff and was more than happy to share her knowledge and time. The only reason I didn't purchase was the exchange rate. She also let me play with the JLC Tourby.
