I was pleased to get to try on several Ulysse Nardins at my local AD today, from Freaks to Skeleton X's, tourbillons to Divers. A great time but I didn't escape unscathed! The Diver Chronometer was available in both blue and black versions and I chose the black.
Perhaps the desert isn't its natural habitat, but I think I'll go for a swim later.
