The first time the U2 and I met, it was wearing a rubber strap and althought a great looking watch, I was not moved by it. Today I became reacquainted with the U2, this time with the bracelet and it knocked me over. Just took the following pics:

Although I am known as the rubber band man .... I think that the steely look of the metal on the U2 makes a giant improvement onto this watch ...a big upgrade indeed

Nice one. I have the U-1 on bracelet and the EZM2 Hydro.I planned on getting the u2 but decided against it because its a argon filled case.Lately I've been buying keepers. ones that can be serviced locally. the ezm 2 is going to be sold because I saw one that was 3 years old, and the oil had stained the dial face. anyways, nice pickup.

I thought I flipped alot of watches!

Do you ever keep some? if so which ones?

Your watches you show here are amazing. What drives your decisions on your buying?

Actually I keep most of what I buy. I do have one chief rule, if I do not wear it, it goes. So since I was not wearing the UTS chrono, its was traded for the U2 plus cash. I still have about 17 watches, mos tof which you guys have seen. I really do not consider myself a flipper.

Didn't mean flipping in a bad way.hand6.gif

your choices in watches are pretty cool. I noticed you seem to go for the upper end of a manufacturers lineup.since I can't afford that tact, I stay within what I can get for around a grand or so.then if theres something that gets up there in price, I can flip a couple to get it.

I did not take in a bad way. I no longer layout cash. If I see a watch I want I must sell. Buying high end watches any longer is out of the questions. Besides I qgree that what I now have is pleanty, unless I see a good trade.
