Serving nearly the same functions, the UN if you like it sporty or the PP if you like it old man style..

Doesn't matter either one.

Between the 2 lovers, just marry one of them and have an affair with the other. :Dancing_banana: :Dancing_banana:

By the time they found out about each other, they would have de-valuated too much to care. ;D ;D

A very big thank you for all you comments. I am kinda leaning towards the UN as I am pretty well sold on the “looks”, and hey, it’s a perpetual date, so it’s kinda cool to see the date jump from 28/29 to March 1… :Laughing_on_floor: . Yeah, I am a gadget guy.

The only thing that is stopping me from pulling the trigger is, I would like a dress watch as well. The PP would fit the bill.

Both are awesome watches, at this level, it’s a matter of preference. Pity I can’t get both as it is such an indulgence.

keep the comments coming folks  :thumbsup:

In this case, it has to be PP.

Else, get a G-Shock.

I was so curious what UN is when i saw the title of this topic,  i wanted to see what it was since i thought "UN" didn't sound familar to Patek's normal contender and i never thought it would be the UN you meant to be .. i nearly puke and spill the coffee i was having this morning .. haha ! (just kidding)  . However to your question, i think no contest here, PP all the way .

Ulysee Nardin ? Then you must get the limited edition 1 Malaysia watch  :Laughing_on_floor:

The special edition is limited to just 25 pieces in rose gold ceramic bezel and 75 in stainless steel each bearing the 1Malaysia emblem in the dial

I love the humour here….”nearly puke”, “getting the 1 Malaysia edition” . I am not a fan of getting special editions and whatever famous name edition. I am a simple man with simple needs :)

2014 batches of PP are not released yet…just announced.So my itch will have to wait till xmas.  :Blue:

Malaysia PP AD can’t even say if they will get those pieces  :thumbsdown:

So far...there are zero votes for the UN.  Not even a single sympathy vote?  ;D. Btw, "simple men with simple needs" would normally get a Seiko or a Citizen and be set for life.  :Laughing_on_floor:

As much as I like to give a sympathy vote for UN, I simply can't.
This must be one of the most lopsided "this or this" thread... hahaha
PP would be a better choice in this case.
But what does it matter right?
You're the guy spending the moolah.
Go ahead and grab that UN if it really floats your boat.
Surely a conversation piece I reckon.

I actually saw someone selling the UN Merdeka 50 years Malaysia version on Lowyat forum. Going quite reasonable too. Here's a link to it for those interested.

Seriously, not knowing what the asking price for the UN, I still think it's more "interesting" than that PP

You want octagonal, go AP ROO. PP has to be round, Calatrava. Anything else is a catch up to AP.

And don't even get me started on that bleached, jubilee bracelet wannabe of a 5960....
