Hi Marcus,
Nicolas question is straight forward.And you have ansered from your heart,i consider.
Again down to the choice of individual here,everyone have their own excuses of with or against it.some back by history,some talk about passion,love at first sight,technicality,reputation,stylishness and etc.
Here is my side of the story,
UN perpetual GMT is a great watch regardless of its techncality fineness its can be consider the best modern perpetuals in these century.Its magnificient movement's design enable the adjustment fro/bck wards have made a challange that many noble watch manufacturer unable to retaliate.
Its a great watch to own,in my point of view the earlier verion of 38,39,40mm are those traditionalist whom favour the essence of originality.therefore the earlier version are to me considered conservative.But look at the new version up sized to 42mm,bigger means sportiness with the presence of sonata hands,kick off the luxury appearnce to the top.And being a MODERN perpetual of all time,i deeply feel that this watch in Classy/sporty/elegant BEST represent the soul of the watch.It's neither in between RM and Panerai nor Patek/Lange.Its an identity of its own,a new thing of its own.
What do you think?
