Ulysse Nardin Black Ocean
 
I don’t see too much Ulysse Nardin love around here. What is the forums overall feel on this brand? I know they are pretty solid on some of their higher end complications. They have some pieces that I really like in particular the Black Ocean pictured below. It is limited to 1846 pieces and is DLC black (Diamond Like Carbon, I really want a black watch:smokin:).What are your guys thoughts on this watch and UN in general? I have an opportunity to get this at an amazing price, and since a PAM 292 for example is far harder to come across and is higher price wise, I think this would be a great buy.:cheers:

i love them...especially some of the maxi marine and michelangelo(sp?)....super well made watches. I had the opportunity to purchase a gigante michealangelo for 60% of retail from my AD and didn't and I regeret it so much!

Spencer 8 May 2010 04:56 AM

60% off?!?!?!?!?! That's well below cost, you should've done it!

Id buy one at discount in a heart beat, id use it to dive in a barracuda area. no flashy

Spencer 8 May 2010 06:13 AM

The day I dive in Baracuda infested waters with this watch or any watch for that matter is the day I will no longer be a Rolexforum member, not sure if I'd come back alive.

jeangtd 8 May 2010 06:37 AM

I wouldnt get in barracuda infested water either, but you know there are areas where you just might bump into a few

mikea 8 May 2010 07:15 AM

yep..i completely dropped the ball....if you pick one up post some pics

jeangtd 8 May 2010 09:30 AM

I have a two other time pieces i want to buy beafore that, but if I were to buy an UN, it would br this one.

does the DCL wear out with time?

lordcon 8 May 2010 10:54 AM

Not that I have heard of, howevere I would assume no:thinking:

I love UN watches, this one is awesome...I'd also love one of their complications which are gorgeous but would also be very happy with a marine chronograph :thumbsup:

Love UN pieces, had a piece from their marine collection, really a nice piece, joy to wear. Traded it for a Sub though, still miss the UN.

UN marine series are absolutely top notch quality pieces. Ive been around them quite a bit, and they are very worth the price. The UN brand has a unique style and it stays true to the marine heritage. I would highly recommend that watch, It is actually high on my list of favorites.

rpryan55 20 July 2010 12:46 PM

Absolutely buy this watch. 1. It is cool 2. It is a UN, which is a high end watch brand and has made some superb watches (including the Freak, which is one of my far too expensive grails). 3. See 1 and 2.

Great watch and if it is at a great price buy it!:thumbsup::cheers:

duncsharp 22 September 2011 02:14 AM

am thinking of getting this watch - how well do you think it would keep its value?

Aivas47a 22 September 2011 09:18 AM

It seems to me UN has gone too far in the "big and blingy" direction, but that's just a matter of personal taste. As a watchmaker UN is solid.

h999r 22 September 2011 10:03 AM

Right combination black - red. Love the color.

jnkay 22 September 2011 10:25 AM

Great watch. I have the maxi marine diver with strap and bracelet. Love it. Their customer service is top notch also. Unique look, great 43mm size.

eric23 22 September 2011 12:43 PM

Nice watch!:thumbsup:

GFEAR 22 September 2011 12:58 PM
