    Both Rolex and Ulysse Nardin manufacture exceptional timepieces! Because of beyond brilliant marketing, Rolex has placed itself on a horological pedestal that no other wristwatch manufacturer will likely ever be able to touch. The truth is that most people that know nothing about wristwatches likely assume that Rolex is "the best watch." Although Rolex is an extremely well-made wristwatch that should last many lifetimes, the truth is that there are many other wristwatches that may surpass the quality of Rolex watches in multiple areas. Within this video, I compare Ulysse Nardin to Rolex. Ulysse Nardin has been manufacturing wristwatches much longer than Rolex but the Ulysse Nardin brand is likely only known by wristwatch collectors or people flying to vacation destinations and seeing Ulysse Nardin advertisements within the in-flight magazines. #Rolex #UlysseNardin #TimepiecesForTomorrow

    I bought the Ulysse Nardin maxi marine diver titanium bezel with a stainless bracelet new probably 8 years ago. I love this watch so much that I almost never put on anyone of my other mechanical watches. This watch is on my wrist every day. Truly exceptional quality. Best purchase of a watch I’ve ever made. 👍🏻

      Ulysse Nardin is definitely a not h above most other wristwatch brands! I also like how I seldom encounter people wearing UN.

    If you like Ulysse Nardin, you should look at Girard Perregaux. There were both bought from the Kering group 2017-2018 by the same guy/group. I'm a big fan of the Girard Perregaux Laureato

      I've never handled one in-person but Laureato looks excellent!

      Which reference? UN is awesome and is definitely a tier above Rolex.

    Not easy to rhyme Ulysse Nardin in a song. Once someone figures that out, it will take off like wildfire.

    I think UN is underrated, and that dial is just beautiful. Did you know they make their own enamel dials? That's what it looks like to me on the screen.

    • @IrixGuy
      @IrixGuy  Před 5 měsíci

      Ulysse Nardin is definitely one of the top Swiss timepiece manufacturers. The dial does look amazing on this reference. I think that UN has a weird reputation because some of their references are hideous, from an appearance perspective. That doesn’t mean that they’re still not top-quality though. The dial on my Maxi Marine Diver has a quilted look in strong sunlight.

    Im happy you’re so great that you have a lot of dicipline. But there’s also people thay live in tropic climates or retain more/less water throughout the day. In those cases the glidelock is very practical

    • @IrixGuy
      @IrixGuy  Před 6 měsíci

      That’s certainly a great reason to have GlideLock!

    The UN is also a single case. No, the lugs haven’t been attached.

    • @IrixGuy
      @IrixGuy  Před 8 měsíci

      Thanks! For some reasons the lugs look like separate pieces. I guess that was how they finished the case.

    @davidgeorge2666 Před rokem +2

    glide lock is to expand the watch when wearing a wet suit for a perfect fit. Guess u don't dive w/ that watch

    • @IrixGuy

      That is one use case but the other is heavy eating and/or drinking that temporarily bloats the wrist.

    Nardin > Rolex. Not a Rolex guy at all. Just too obvious. I'll take IWC, Ulysse, and Kurono Tokyo over it every day of the week and twice on Sunday.

    • @IrixGuy
      @IrixGuy  Před 2 lety +2

      Rolex uses a higher grade stainless steel but UN blows Rolex out of the water with case and dial finishings.

    Own a subby and a sea dweller. Have owned a UN maxi marine. The Rolex has a more refined movement, superior crown feel, brand recognition, etc. The UN dial and crystal clarity is better. Better looking over all. Bracelet is far superior despite the lack of adjustment sadly. Can buy a UN much cheaper on second hand market. Can service the ETA movement with less drama than a Rolex. Selling my Rolexes actually and buying this UN. If you want a cheaper alternative again, the Oris Aquis or titans are even better value and easy to service and own.

    • @IrixGuy
      @IrixGuy  Před rokem +1

      I agree with all points except for the crown feel. I find the crown feel of the UN to be superior to my Submariner and definitely far superior to the crown on my OP.

    You can't compare because the one that's made in le locle is in a class of its own.

    • @IrixGuy
      @IrixGuy  Před rokem +1

      Ulysse Nardin’s dials and overall finishings are next-level. With that said, this is still a super capable dive watch. #UN
