Hit's every watch spot and I'd still have about £40k left!

That's stunning, tempted to bid..
Probably an idiots question but is that a dot over 90 speedy bezel insert ?

It's nice enough but I'm sticking with my Val. 72 Autavias.
Lovely. That is all.
I rest my case.....still think the UN is prettier.....and TENS OF THOUSANDS cheaper!

Love the asymmetry ofd the pushers
I appreciate the Newman for what it is but the UN is a lot nicer in my eyes.
Lovely UN, I'd love to have that and restore it lovingly.
Great decorated Valjoux 72 as well.
Makes me regret selling my Enicar Sherpagraph.........
Daddel.
Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
Thanks for that and now going to search Val 72 Autavias . OP that's a cracking watch, will you be bidding ? Unfortunately I wont as funds are needed elsewhere.
The UN looks nice...but not as nice as a 6263....
Still think the UN's prettier, sorry! The clean dial and elegant line just screams understated classic. Having the extra £40k in my bin would probably cloud my judgement though!The UN looks nice...but not as nice as a 6263....
Seriously, not many of us could ever have enough money to throw around to buy a 60's Daytona, so the Val 72's chrono's produced in the 60's like the UN, the UG's, especially the Space Compax, Autavia's etc provide a more sensible alternative for basically the same watch that would cost as much as a small hoose oop norf.
Sold for almost £4.5k.
Ooops!
That's a substantial sum.

My concern with paying that for the UN is that the earlier days of the marque are not terribly well documented and there's a cottage industry in various Latin American countries manufacturing frankens. The area where I have more interest (though sadly not the funds) is Universal Geneve but at least there's the Sala book and an increasingly active specialist forum.
