Verdict on UN Freak X?

[Bruin20]

Big fan of the blue dial titanium version and would honestly consider this over the typical aquanaut, overseas or royal oak in this price range just as a much more unique piece.

Anyone have one? What’s the service cost like since it’s a freak? Is this considered a real freak or just a watered down freak with the balance on the minute hand?

I was looking into these but did not get one in the end because the X is the more simplified one and it didnt feel like a proper Freak.
Kind of like a Ferrari with a 4 cylinder engine. Looks nice on the outside but lacking something on the inside.
IMO the one to go for is the original Freak or the Freak out.

Not for me.

I like the original and the Freak X, don’t own either, but would certainly consider either.

Watered down? It’s a simpler watch in many ways, but it’s just a personal preference

I like the Freak X but I don't know if I love it. I think I prefer the Freak Out more than the X.

The new Freak X Enamel Blue looks stunning. The dial is guilloché and enameled in blue. 43mm and titanium.

If I had the cash to spend I think it looks awesome!

I have the Freak X and I love it. Very unique watch and gets a lot of looks. I think its the most wearable Freak, the other ones are too big and clunky by todays standards. Also also no matter what people say its still a Freak, the watch identity is from the complication not the missing crown

Peep the Behrens Space Traveler!

No thanks
I have sold a couple of the Freaks and thought they were very interesting and unique.
Ill pass on this one, just looks very plain

I have the Freak X aventurine. I really wanted a freak X when I first saw it online. However, I thought they felt cheap and plasticy, but the aventurine + rose gold just looks right. Had to send it back for service after less than 6month ownership. I still love the watch very much and gets lots of compliments.

If I may ask, what was the issue that required warranty service?

Sorry to hear that but glad it was resolved. That’s one of the most beautiful UNs!
