Great post. The watch is a keeper. UN takes the usual and adds a twist so that it is unlike competitors. The blued movement is so typical of them and so special.
As I have said before a watch can be more than a time piece. When it is the repository for memories as well it is definitely something that should be treasured for a long time.
Btw I am laughing that Nicolas is so complementary about the piece. It's got a date!

One of my true favorite watches, of all my years collecting is...
A Blue Surf. I bought it from our esteemed AP moderator, MichaelC, and although I have occasionally considered selling it, I never really put much effort toward that goal. I traveled with this watch to Switzerland and Italy... and met Philippe Dufour wear...
Thanks Michael
I love it more, each year, even with the momentary 'flare-ups' of 'should I sell it'... I feel more committed to this one now and am very glad it did not get away.
Yes, Mostel, yes, this Blue Surf is a lovely watch and companion. Nice post.
And... Don't sell it! Best, Nicolas
thanks Nicolas
I need to tell you that your enthusiasm for this watch, over the years, kept me looking at it. So you are partly to blame, and thanks again for giving the date ' a pass'. Your contributions here are infinitely appreciated.
Yes, agree Alkiro.
It is a very unusual--yet--not too 'crazy' original design, I think. The details continually excite, and even amaze, at this level.
The Blue Surf is a magnificent piece....
... both on the blue rubber strap and on the steel bracelet. The steel bracelet IMHO is even better than the one on the Omega Seamaster and the locking mechanism is simply superb. And even if the blue dial doesn't always radiate as you would expect from a...
Thanks wover
You know, the blue, for me, is just as I would ever want it. Not too bright, but very deep, alive, with much 'range' in various light. The bracelet is among the best I've ever worn, and being so beefy, it is still not over heavy, but of course it has good...

Thank you Mitch
I really enjoyed your interview recently where you shared your independents... Nice to communicate with you.
Well from my posts, you know I love this watch....
It has resided in the collection for 10yrs now, and it isn\'t going anywhere. My Father\'s Day gift, it truly holds a unique position in my collection. From just over a month ago, when I was up for my younger daughter\'s high school graduation. Cheers, Ti...
