Hey Everyone,

Just received my first reps, decided to buy from Hont, he was a pleasure to deal with. Watches are a Sinn U2 (Asian 21J) and Ulysse Nardin Maxi Chronometer 43mm. Prices were great, less than $240 for the pair, shipped. Extensive reviews of both these watches have already been done elsewhere on www.repgeek.com and the other site mentioned above, so I just wanted to add my 2 cents. I have never handled the gens of either of these, but both watches feel solid and well-built. The only problem with the Ulysse Nardin Chronometer is that the rotor feels kind of cheap, you can hear it spinning around when you move your wrist, but certainly not a deal breaker. They also both keep excellent time. I replaced the rubber band on the Sinn with a Nato G10 band from an ebay seller. My wrist is about 6 ¾ â€. Now onto the pictures:

Like the pics. Gorgeous looking U2, will get one right away. Good idea with that NATO strap.

I have the white Le Locle, it looks good in black as well...

Why amn't I an octopus ...

Wow, that maxi chrono is really stunning! What does that strap feel like with the rubber/steel combination?

Thanks everyone for the comments, both of these watches are great. The Zulu strap is 22mm, and I like the rubber/stainless strap on the UN, but I would also like to get a black croc strap for it (the only problem is it has custom lugs). Glad you all like the pics, I never would have known what to get if not for the helpful people in this forum and repgeek. Now I'm hooked. Thanks again!

Actually there are special leather straps for the le locle. We had an offer here recently but it was with watch and he would not send overseas.

It is very difficult to get. If you are successful, please drop me a PM

Cheers
