i'm with Cen and Nick on this one

i love high quality watches and virtually did a deal with the devil to get my UN freak but i also love unusually dialled watches. innovation and 'different to normal' are important to me without worrying about brand name. price is also a very important factor.

most recent purchases UN freak, UN Ludwig perpetual, Meistersinger single hander, BRM chrono.

both the Meistersinger and BRM are more accurate over time than the Freak is, but i dont mind that as the freak is a concept piece with 3-5 minutes fast over 8 days not bothering me too much. however they are also more accurate than my Breitling avenger seawolf which is COSC, but can lose 2 minutes in 3-4 days. perhaps this just needs a service.

i was very surprised to hear that the complete movement wasnt tested for COSC, it sort of makes a mockery of the certificate. its as if the COSC dont really care what the actual watch accuracy is after the complication modules are added as long as the base movement passes.

loads of companies adjust their watches in several positions without having them certified which makes them equally as accurate.

the changes make no difference to me whatsoever. in fact i would prefer honesty such as 'made in germany', france, even singapore and hong kong as long as the watches are of high quality, unusual and affordable.

thats my 1p's worth
