Alas. But honestly, we were used to see marvels and magic each year. Now, it is different...
An early blue UN before blue was such a ‘thing’
The Blue Max Ref 263-58 created by Rolf and the UN team. Made in SS and gold versions. 999 pieces but I can’t recall if that was both metals. Of course the blued movement was quite a novelty then. I bought this one new on 27 Dec 2002. Remains with me join...
Hope UN returns to past glory 👍🏻🤞🏻

It was a tour de force indeed…

I also bought one when it came out. Foolishly let go. Not too many years later, massive regret. Many years later I finally found a worthy replacement. I went from mint to acceptable but happy

The good old UN days indeed.
I remember them fondly. And you still have the entire set - Blue Max, Blue Surf, Blue Wave!
Awesome. I love this blue surf.
I remember you also have the Columbus set, among your other UN marvels.... So you have 2 sets of three with the same case numbers!
I was very much into the brand in the early 2000’s
Era of Rolf, Ludwig and Patrick. I will post a few more separately.
