It's absolutely perfect on the Iso. It will probably be a long time before my bracelet goes back on.

Really a great looking watch.

Looking fwd to seeing that, too. Just not an SDR bezel kind of guy. I could almost be tempted to pick up a pro, swap bezels w mine and sell my current U1 as an SDR (transparently).

I ordered the bezel 6 weeks ago today. Should be here this week or next according to their last estimate. Really looking forward to it. Now I have to find the perfect leather strap. It looks and wears great on the burgundy Toshi, but I think a rich black leather strap would work great with the gloss black hands. Maybe black cordovan.

This'll wear great on any quality leather strap.

All U-series bezels are tegimented. It's the cases that sometimes aren't.

Don't get rid of the Pro bezel. It's not an SDR bezel and might be hard to get in the future.

You people are crazy swapping off the pro bezel. I think it is one of my favorite aspects of the design. The only thing that would've made it better is a full black case to match.

I agree. The bezel is an integral part of the way I intended the watch to look. I hate the standard bezel on it.

+2. The color way for the bezel is a key part of the design.

+3. While I may look fine with the silver bezel, it's perfect as it is.

I've never really liked naked bezels. I had a bad ass ezm2, prob would have kept it (longer) if it had a black bezel.

I hate to criticize, but to be honest if I could do something different with the U1P bezel it would be to black out all of the hashes after the 15 mark. But quite frankly it's the best bezel that's ever been placed on a U1.
And I cannot see them being obtained except for service issues.

I know the U1P bezel is different, so I won't sell it. I've always preferred the naked bezel on Sinns though. If I could have a naked bezel without the red, I'd drop the coin on that in an instant.

Personal preference is all.

i didn't realize it was different, so maybe my thought wasn't a great one to swap/sell. but i'm with matt, i prefer the naked bezel. just in general i prefer steel cases/bezels.

Worldwide shipping included. That's mighty generous.
You never know, he might just get it. There was huge demand for this from the Japanese market, among others.

If I still had mine and was profit motivated, I'd list it at $5k/best offer with international shipping on eBay and wait to see what came in. It really is the best designed U1 IMO and I'm sure there are many outside the US that will pay a premium for it.
