I just recieved my mk1, i wonder what the value is? Thanks

 

Congrats! I got my Mk1 in July, so now I have a matching Mk1/Mk2 set.

Looking at the market, I feel like Mk1 are valued a little higher than Mk2 with both being in the US$450-700 range. Really perfect versions being at the top of that range.

What is your experience?

 

I think that's about right, if you don't add in dealer premium. I wanted one of those for a long time, but they were going for far more than that for a few years. Finally got one on the way. Think the "hype" surrounding its mention on Hodinkee has finally died down a bit.

 

I saw that as well - they had the Hodinkee hit - but that seems to have settled down.

 

Mine came back from the watch maker today. Didn’t have any history for it and wanted to make sure it got a service if required.

turns out it is clean , nicely oiled and runs extremely well as the time grapher shows.

 

Excellent! Those are some decent readings.

 

Haven’t worn this in a little while and I’m not sure why

 

And now switching from the MK2 to the MK1

 

Sweet set! We could be double wrists twins lol.

 

Mine finally arrived from France after a month of being stuck in customs. They got their pound of flesh and I got my Mark II

 

Looks sporty with the nylon strap, a look I hadn’t considered. I dig it! Congratulations on your new watch.

 

Congrats!! Looks cool on that strap.

 

Very pleased to acquire this Mark I from earlier in the thread from @Scarecrow Boat. I have been fascinated by these watches for years now and have attempted to buy inferior examples. I’m glad now that I was unsuccessful. This is the first time I’ve been able to get the very watch I had specifically admired even before it was for sale. I can’t tell you how enjoyable it is to see that actual watch on my wrist now.

It might be the enamel dial, but the ticking of this watch has a distinct reverberant tone, like it’s echoing off the dial.

Reminds me of another railway watch, the Citizen Homer, which I got a few years ago, stamped with the year before I was born and a defunct railroad near me. Similarly stark all-business designs with decorative touches that place them in a bygone era.

 

Congratulations on your patient success. Such suitable companions, those 2 railroad watches.

 

Hi, I'm new so have probably posted incorrectly (forgive me please). I've been looking for an UG FS1 for some time and found this on ebay for around 380€ - is it acceptable or best left?

 

Too late. Advice no longer needed. Someone else snapped it up

 

comparing the two most recent Mk 2 watches on this site that the designs of the second hand dial differ notably

 

Can anyone explain these differences?
