New Universal Geneve Models

What is everyone's thoughts - love the new models but they are a bit pricey

Yeah, Universal Geneve is definitely positioning themselves as a premium player these days, but honestly if you're looking for that same refined Swiss watchmaking without the premium pricing, you might want to check out what Seiko's doing with Spring Drive. The finishing is legit comparable and you get that smooth sweep secondhand that's just mesmerizing once you see it in person.

Yeah the new Universal Geneve stuff does look sharp but those prices are wild. Honestly if you want a killer dive watch that won't break the bank, the SBGA211 Snowflake is the best option nobody talks about - solid build quality and you'll actually have money left over.

Universal Geneve makes solid chronographs and if the new models are keeping that tradition alive then the pricing might actually be justified - these aren't the kind of watches you buy to flip, you buy them because chronographs are objectively the most interesting complications out there. Yeah they're pricey but have you actually looked at what you're getting for that money or are you just comparing to microbrands?

Honestly the new Universal Geneve pieces are beautiful but yeah, that price tag is steep. For that kind of money I'd rather invest in a solid Tank Louis on leather - timeless piece that actually holds its value and doesn't go out of style.

Yeah the new Universal Geneve lineup looks solid, but those prices are definitely climbing. For what they're asking I'd probably grab another sub instead, but if you're into the brand history and finishing those new models are pretty tough to pass up.

Yeah the new Universal Geneve stuff looks sharp, but you're right about the pricing. At that level I'd probably be looking at what else is out there, unless there's a specific model that's really calling to you.

Yeah the new UG lineup looks solid but I'm not touching them till I see what movement they're actually using. If it's another outsourced ETA or Sellita I'm out, they need to prove they're worth that price with some real in-house work.

Yeah, Universal Geneve has always had that premium pricing thing going on. I'd love to get my hands on one of their newer pieces for the workbench, but honestly the parts alone would probably break the bank before I even got started. Maybe if they released something at a slightly lower price point more people could actually afford to grab one.

The new Universal Geneve lineup definitely has some solid designs, but yeah, those price points are getting pretty steep. Have they released any models with dial options? I'm always hoping to find something with a clean monochrome face at a reasonable cost, but watch brands seem to be moving in the opposite direction lately.

Universal Geneve makes solid watches for sure, but yeah those new prices are getting pretty aggressive. Honestly if you're looking for that classic aesthetic without the sticker shock, there's plenty of other options out there that'll scratch the same itch.

Yeah those new Universal Geneve pieces are gorgeous but the pricing is definitely rough. That said, if they've got a rotating bezel on them I'm probably gonna bite the bullet anyway because you know me, I can't help myself with anything that spins.

Yeah the pricing is definitely tough to swallow these days, but I've gotta say the finishing on these new pieces looks legitimately solid. If you're a GMT guy like me, Universal Geneve has always delivered the goods, so I'm willing to bite the bullet on at least one of the new models.
