I dont hear much or see much from this Manufacturer. Is there a reason for that!?

kilyung · 28 April 2012, 02:05 PM

I had a Sonata. Great watch, horrible resale.

iLLGT2 · 28 April 2012, 02:55 PM

Resale sure is bad on them, but they are UNIQUE... Beautiful, well crafted and greatly finished pieces. I have a maxi diver and love it

Had a Maxi Marine Chronograph, beautiful piece but there's a reason I didn't have any problem getting a 40% discount from the AD in Jamaica when I bought mine.... low demand & value on the secondary market.

The Freak is one of my favs!!!!!! I love the maxi marine too. It's a great peice that if I got the right price I'll pick it up in the future. My fav reasonably priced UN.

very nice watches

dddrees · 29 April 2012, 12:20 AM

They make some very interesting watches, however they're not unlike some of the other brands which don't make that many watches. Not that many places where you would even see them being sold. I've seen them on sale at Las Vegas and St Thomas. Unless your really into watches and various brands you might not even know they exist.

They do have some very interesting models however.

mikea · 29 April 2012, 12:31 AM

As has been stated...they make watches in limited quantities with a very specific aesthetic....but very well made!

I really like the brand and own a couple of pieces, a SS maxi marine chrono and a rose gold Executive Dual Time. They have a number of really cool high complication pieces as well, including some very nice minute repeaters. I was at the boutique in Boca Raton last year and was able to try on a number of their very high end watches. The sales manager was a very nice guy who was very helpful.

However, they're about like most of the higher quality/boutique brands in that respect. The only brands that really seem to do better are Rolex and PP. As long as you aren't paying MSRP or you buy pre-owned, you'll do fine with UN. It's the first buyer who suffers with the depreciation, and the next owners tend to get a better watch than they thought they could afford.

Agreed!!! I picked up my mint/complete beauty for a steal :) I've thought about selling and people wanted to rob me on it, so I thought why sell... I'll continue to enjoy it for a long time

I completely agree with you....Don't bother thinking about re-sale value....If you love it, why sell it?

Well, that's the realization I have come to lol... Basically, with my deep collection at the moment it doesn't get much wear ! So I figured, maybe i'll let it go..

After the crazy low ball offers of 3k and under, I started wearing it and found a new love for it
