I think the UN is a great watch, but I can't see it being a keeper unless you really love it. |

I agree - the UN pieces are very nice - I prefer the blue one over this, but o each their own. But to trade 2 watches, 1 with a UTC - not me. |

Is this an even trade Jeff? Tough call, as Roff stated the B-1 has the UTC module. But I do like those Black Seas. |

J, really just a hypothetical question at this point. I would think straight up would be fair for me, but I'm not sure. I've been thinking about making a move for one, but not sure. The B1 is just sick, and has great history as well. |

I only said trade as the B1 has never quite worked for me. |

Hmmmm, well I'm not personally a fan of the B1 (UTC or not) having owned one for a short while, so if you really REALLY like the UN, then I'd say go for it. The UN is a lot less common watch to see around and therefore a little more interesting (IMHO), so if I was you I'd go for it. |

Both the Seawolf and the B1 are replaceable, even though the UTC might be a little harder to come by. I think it's a good trade, I would go for it. That UN is sweeeet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 |

Would not trade. Main reason being this UN looks fantastic in a catalogue, but I would find it difficult to wear. You'd have to love it big time, no pun intended. |

Have not seen this one in the flesh, so I can't say how I might feel. No, that’s a lie. I am looking at it and I really could not see myself wearing those wavy embellishments on my wrist. I would not do it if you were me..... |

Personally I wouldn't, I think the un will date quickly and you'll probably get a cr@p resale on it. |

I wouldn't do that deal personally. Can't fault the UN, it looks a great piece but I don't think I'd give it much wrist time. As much as I admire the design I can't think of a situation where I'd wear that type of watch. |

Nah... Not really. Im just not into this UN... If I may borrow from Jeremy Clarkson's rethoric: its a bit like a fire spitting dragon... It looks cool in comic books and is impressive when you get see it... But one wouldnt really like to own one. More seriously, i think this watch has everything it takes for a new owner to get weary of it quite quickly... |
