I'm eyeing a UN MMD. Anyone had one or have any thoughts?

I like them, and UN as a brand is not often seen around. The MM could just do with a couple more mm in diameter for my personal liking (if memory serves they are around the 42mm mark, and not what you'd call a "chunky" diver), but they're very nice watches indeed.

I like them as well - especially the ivory dial.

Nice straps too.

Just pulled the trigger on a white dialed model. It was that or a Navi World. But I tend to like simpler dials and good water resistance.

Will post pics when it arrives.

Congrats, I really like the dials on those. I saw a black one on TZ and then I saw a white dial one posted today, they each looked great. Is yours going to be on the bracelet or rubber strap?

It's that white one from TZ. On bracelet. Every time I try straps, I don't like them.

It arrived yesterday. It's a really sweet watch. Comparable to the Steelfish in size and feel, but a higher grade of fit and finish. Here's a quick wrist shot. I'll do a more thorough write up and set of pics later.

Just tried on a few UNs - including the new Executive Dual Time - they definitely are nice pieces - good pick up!

That is one of my favorite Nardins. I almost bought that exact same watch and its still on my short list. Amazing dial! Congrats.

If you don't mind, what is the expected price point for this incredible piece?

Used, they run 3000-3500 depending on condition, color, bracelet/strap
Not sure about new.
