Put the Unison Watches Model Orbital up for charity auction? No, I don't think so - it's too nice for the likes of you! (Review)

I’ve been waiting months and months and months for the Unison Watches Model Orbital to arrive.  More than 7 months, in fact!

https://www.watchcrunch.com/Unison_Watches/posts/unison-watches-model-orbital-campaign-is-live-30159

And in that time, my ardor had abated.  You know how sometimes you just get swept up by the hype?

Image

And then in more sober moments, you wonder…

Image

I kinda feel like that’s what happened to me.

So, I just figured, “No problem.  I’ll get the watch and charity auction it!”  Because I hold onto new watches the way @Edge168n holds onto divers…

But, you know what?  The watch arrived yesterday.  I put it on wrist, and guess what?  I’ve decided not to auction it.  Why?  Because the watch is too nice.

Image

Check out that lume - it's like something out of Tron!!!

Image

It also came with all sorts of awesome goodies!

Image
Image

It’s totally different from any other watch I have in my collection!  The finishing is beautiful, and I love the sorta steampunk look to it.

When I showed it to my wife, she said, “Wow!  That’s really something!”  But, in this kinda way…

Image

She said, “You know how I always say that all your watches look the same?  Well, not that one.  That one I can tell apart from the others.”  

She said it looked like a bicycle component of some sort.  And, well, that’s how she and I met!  We met our freshman year of college, on the cycling team!  These are all good things in my book.

So, no, I’m not going to charity auction this watch.  I like it too much - it’s too good for the likes of you all!

It's so good, I would say that it's 5 STARS!!! Yes, that's right! 5 STARS!!! My first watch review, and it's 5 STARS!!!

@Aurelian, amidoinitrite?

Wonder what's gonna happen when I do my Invicta Artist Skull review now.....😂🤐.

Now we know who gets auto eliminated next #1wc for no apparent reason....😉

I’m going to save my pennies for when you do put it up for charity auction 🤣

Until then, enjoy it. Looks absolutely amazing.

You know, sometimes I do fantasize about selling every single one of my GS and only collecting microbrand watches.

If I weren't such a vain man, I would do it!

Mistress Bater is correct about the chain and sprocket thing.

Yes! That's right! I completely disagree with this notion that "there is no perfect watch." Sure there is. If you love it, it's perfect!

You are so much crazier than I am.

that's a clean looking watch dude👌

Yeah! I mean, if you want something a little different, but nice and at the right price, I can’t think of a better option at the moment!

This was a very thorough review. Basically now I know the watch has great lume, looks like a bicycle component, and you and your wife met on the cycling team. 🤣

Perfect! That’s precisely why it gets a 5.0!

Hmm , I guess it’s ok?

If it looked even more like a bike part I’d be more into it 😁

I to am branching out from GS into some micros lately.

I consider Credor a microbrand. Time to consolidate down half of your GS collection and make the jump to the Eichi II. C’mon do it.

Credor is a micro brand. The Eichi II is perfect.

Yes - additional bonus points for upsetting @Porthole

We could make a rogues gallery and then I can set them all on fire
