Details

The Story

Here's a vintage Ulysse Nardin manual wind with a white roman numeral dial from the late 70s, early 80s. Keeps great time and is fully functional. Measurements include a 23x30mm tank case size and 18mm lug width. It's on a brown leather strap with a matching gold buckle. 14K yellow gold case. The case and caseback are in great condition. Matching black roman numerals, minute track, and hands. Original blue cabochon crown. Overall, the case has maintained its rich yellow gold color. The dial and crystal are free from any scratches or marks. The dial has a slight hue of cream. All parts are original including the dial, crown, movement, and caseback. Both the dial and case are in great cosmetic, untouched condition.
History

Founded in 1846 in Le Locle, Ulysse Nardin built its reputation on marine chronometers trusted by naval officers worldwide. The Michelangelo reference 161-42 in our inventory is a classical round dress watch in 18-karat yellow gold with a mother-of-pearl moonphase dial and an integrated bracelet — a departure from the brand's nautical heritage toward pure horological elegance. Ulysse Nardin remains one of the few independent manufactures to have produced movements for external clients while maintaining a distinct identity.

I knew I was gonna like Danny, based on his name, but nothing could’ve prepared me for how great of an experience this was. He had the most beautiful 70s Seamaster Cosmic on his website and I was set to be married 2 days later - I arranged to buy it but before leaving we both realized it needed to be serviced. I panicked, because I was literally buying this for my wedding, and Danny being the legend he is, loaned me a nearly identical Seamaster to make sure I could get through the event Never have I had someone go so above and beyond for me, especially while purchasing one of the lesser priced items in their inventory. He serviced my watch and exchanged it with me after the wedding on a super fast turnaround timeline. I would sincerely recommend you visit this guy, you will not be disappointed Edit: adding a pic of the loaner (two tone) and the owner (crosshair)

Great service and shop. Danny and his team were incredibly accommodating, professional, and kind. Great selection of vintage watches. Their store is the hidden gem in the diamond district.

This was my first real luxury watch purchase, a Rolex 15200 Date 34mm, I own Tissots and a Laco, but those are entry level luxury watches. I found Danny’s Vintage Watches online, and had great feedback both on Google, Chrono24 and the Reddit watch community. So decided to give him a shot as buying online can be a crap shoot. Ordered Monday night, was at my doorstep Friday morning. Despite the watch being over 30 years old, serial number says it’s from 91, the watch looked new. Didn’t come with box or papers, and was shipped in a plastic sleeve wrapped in bubble wrap. Danny was always available to answer questions. I’ll be buying from Danny again for the next purchase…saw a couple of Speedmasters on his site I liked….
