Hey guys, what are your thoughts on this watch? I'm thinking about picking one up. I love the cream color dial against the dark brown croc. I also really like how the face is all dial, roman numerals, blue hands.. I really like it. Thoughts anyone?

Never seen that one but surely do like it! It's nice to see a UN not on rubber. Very classy - love the blued hands. Really like the coined edge.

Bad news Tom...someone swooped in and paid higher than the sellers asking price!! I can't seal a deal, that's 3 deals in the past week I've lost out on!! Errrrrrrrrrrrrr

On a better note, my custom dangerous 9 strap just arrived for my PAM and it's filthy hot!! Thanks to admin for turning me onto them.

I have come across this model on other forums a couple times and really like it, but was never able to get on board with the lugs. great looking watch as a whole though.

I think that as with other ETA UN's you can get one second-hand for a really good price.

Sorry to hear you missed out Sergio!

You know I'm still 50/50 on that watch. I really can't decide whether I like it or not. It's definitely different with a clean crisp dial. I've tried a couple on but...anyway I hope you have better luck next time.

That dial color combo is not for me, but I think it's a very nice looking watch.

Ive recently become pretty down on UN. Some decent looking models, but at the end of the day, they just end up being way overpriced for what you get.

Sergio, I think this is one of Nardin's winners. I am a 50/50 fan of Nardin, meaning I love 50% of their watches and cant stand the other half. This one is very Nardin and very classy, IMO. Hope you find another one if your looking.

I'm not a huff fan of UN either...there is just something about this model & color combo that I draws my eye....oh well, eventually another will turn up.

I love UN. This one isn't my favourite because I'm more a black dial guy, but I still think it looks striking.

If you're looking at buying second hand, you should be able to score a good deal. I've seen a few for sale on various forums and they don't seem to be moving quickly.
