Quick picture in 2 degree weather. I've had it for a few days and it's definitely more comfy than the U1 series.

Hey guys, looking for some advice here. I've been looking for one of these and found one at a dealer for a fair price. I've heard these movements can be a little hit or miss so I asked him to throw it on the timegrapher for me and these were the results:

Crown down was around +10
All other positions were between +4-7

My gut tells me to take a pass.... What's your vote?

I honestly don’t think you’ll do a whole lot better than that.

I agree. The Sellita movements haven’t impressed me much, but it is likely different on wrist vs machine anyway.

There was a u50 pro on Reddit (via Recon) for $2700. I don’t know the guy but that seems cheap

I think. Lot of us are getting spoiled by chronometer grade movements Tudors at this price.., and all of the ETA Sinn’s I have owned have ran within COSC. My 50 pro is about around +8-10. Not terrible but not great.

I was going to wait until the one year anniversary hit of when I received mine to say this, but my timing has been incredible.

If you look at random comments I made throughout the 11 months I bitched about the time being fast, slowing, then fast.
About 3 months ago it settled. And I mean it gains about 2 seconds a week. I wear it or leave it face up on my dresser.

I consider myself lucky, I wouldn’t expect others to be this good.

My U1P is ridiculously accurate. +1 or 2. Luck of the draw. I never wear the same watch two days in a row, so I don’t really care either way.

The only time I check a watch’s accuracy is 1) when I buy it and 2) before I go to sell it, because people ask.

Still my favorite watch… ever.


I’ve had it on bracelet since fall. On nato now and hoping they make a new Teg adjustable clasp for the U50 ASAP.
