Anyone own one? I have heard of Ulysse Nardin but never really looked into it... Thinking of simply selling my 217 since i do find it a tad to big and getting that beauty...

URGH!!!!!

Haha, ohhhh Ulysse Nardin, without a doubt my favorite watch manufacturer. I fell in love ages ago! They are reasonably priced for a higher end brand, well at least their steel models are.... Those pictures you have up are gold ones, and unless you have a big budget, Ulysse Nardin's gold watches are quite expensive. I tend to prefer steel watches, or white gold (based on color, I could never afford white gold!!!) over yellow or rose gold as I am younger and the silver color is jsut mor fitting for my age. However, with Ulysse Nardin, I have to go with the gold if I were to purchase one of their watches, they are just absolutely beautiful! I simply could not do with just a steel Ulysse Nardin, but since I do not have the $$$$ to spend on a 10k and up timepiece, the watch will just have to wait! Ultimately, if you have the cash, and your'e interested in the gold, go for it, you are one lucky guy!!!

I brought up Ulysse Nardin in the past, just click my name and search my posts, they should be helpful as they had helped me when I was just a "Ulysse Nardin Newbie"

Good luck in your decision making

Thanks. I to am more about SS or White Gold but their Rose Gold is magneficient!

I find them reasonably priced, especially their Rose Gold one compared to the Panerai's i have (i found them to be rather expensive for what they are).

I will look up your posts and do a bit of research before making a decision in the up coming weeks.

The MMC is stunning, I would very much like to have the 43mm version. (It's one of the few trades I would consider for the watch I'm selling at the moment. I've been trying to contact a guy located in the same city as me who was looking to trade one not long ago, but I can't get hold of him now. :cry: )

The gold looks great, even though I'm not a gold wearer. The SS is awesome too, and I think it's quite reasonably priced for what it is. Not an in-house movement though, it's an ETA with a UN module added for the power reserve.

I will have one, one day :D . Only dilemma for me is rubber strap or croc.

Good call Roff, the Exec Dual Time is another highlight of the UN range IMO.

Nice Roff but a bit too 'in ur face' with the large numbers for my taste.

Aww maybe if i sell my PAM217 or one or two large lenses i don't use...

I had an MMD for a while but I never really bonded with it. Beautiful watch, and I may own one again, but it just never quite clicked.

This is the one for me. I've even spoken to UN direct in the hope they could locate an unsold model :roll:
