Samurai Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Posted May 25, 2009 Got the UN delivered to me this morning. Looks great. Will take some pics in the evening and post them. Quick observations: # The bracelet seems to be very well replicated....though needs to be oiled once as it is rather stiff. # The bracelet has an excellent finish to the brushed and polished links. # The Ulysse Nardin engraving on the clasp is as good as I have seen on a lot of gens. # The dial seems to be creamish/white but looks good. The different shades of blue on the bezel/dial/hands look very good. My particular watch has some issues so will be going back to Josh for a replacement (the pearl is sort of tilted and there are some markings on the backside of the watch that I can't seem to get rid of). Overall....the bracelet gives the watch quite gen-like feeling and the watch feels substantial on the wrist. More when I upload the pics
Samurai Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Posted May 25, 2009 Some quick n dirty pics (realized I hadn't cleaned the watch and the bracelet).....still have a look. Uploading some more....
b16a2 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Spoke to Joshua about this....the blue version has a silver white dial with metallic finish. Looks like that thread a while ago about Josh's colourblindness wasn't far off The cream dial does look very nice though in all seriousness, and who would have seen the genuine to notice such a small variance anyway!
Samurai Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Posted May 25, 2009 Looks like that thread a while ago about Josh's colourblindness wasn't far off Am uploading some more pics of the bracelet etc.
b16a2 Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 It does look incredible on the bracelet, the dial could be pink for all I care, that bracelet makes the watch!
Mo_till Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Great watch! I think we are all waiting for the wristshots :-) C'mon!
Samurai Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Posted May 25, 2009 Just got home. Will take some wristies soon
RobbieG Posted May 25, 2009 Report Posted May 25, 2009 Gen bracelet pics for comparisons to all...Looks good from here Sam.
Samurai Posted May 25, 2009 Author Report Posted May 25, 2009 Thanks for the pics Robbie. The bracelet indeed has been very well replicated and looks like a million $$.
elisiX Posted May 26, 2009 Report Posted May 26, 2009 Mate could we possibly get some natural light (no flash) pictures outdoors (wrist shot perhaps?) Looks awesome!
Samurai Posted May 26, 2009 Author Report Posted May 26, 2009 I have to say Josh is the best. As mentioned above, the watch that I got has some issues and am sending it back today for an exchange. Would you believe it???....the replacement watch is already in the mail and I have a tracking no. for that (including some parts also that I had requested for)......amazing stuff.
