Not that the Blue Phantom is uninteresting, though!

But the first generation has so many interesting détails, and a smaller case.

I have this one on my wrist since last Sunday. I didn't suspect UN would release a new Freak, the Lab, which is a big mistake, as with this brand, you have to expect even the unexpectable. Funny how these new releases make you appreciate even more your ol...

I now realize why I prefer the 1.0 aesthetic. I like how that whole mechanism contrasts with the dial and matches the bezel. I'm assuming the plates is white metal? In iterations like the Blue Phantom, the movement disappears with the dial. Not sure why i...
