Hi to all. I have a Uniersal Geneve I got from my dad, seems to be in good condition. It s rose gold wit salmon dial. I think he had it cleaned, but I would like to take it to someone who knows the UG brand.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Andy D

 

Andy, I'm on the other side of the Atlantic, so cant help directly - but someone soon will. In the meanwhile, I'm sure the guys would love to see a picture of the watch - is that possible?

 

Since you are close to New Jersey that might be the safest place to send your watch.

 

Hi:

New Jrsey is fine! Can you give me a name/email address?

Many thanks!

 

Are you a chess player, by chance? I am an avid player, myself!

 

I am starting to dabble a little after 30 years. When I looked for an Avatar, my chess game popped up on my iPad, ha. I am fascinated by the game and how I can from being brilliant to being a boob in sthe space of thress minutes!

 

"A Modest Proposal"..are you an English major? Swift caused quite a stir with that piece.

 

Hah - no - not an English major. Was an anthropology major.

"A Modest Proposal" has always had an impact on me, though.

 

I second this original question.. I live on the eastern shore of Maryland and am looking for a jeweler I can trust and start a relationship with for my watches now and in the future.. Anyone have any good names to throw out?

 

i guess no one knows a jeweler in the mid-Atlantic?????

 

Hey folks: Anyone know a good watchmaker in Maryland?

Thanks,

Andy D

 

May I suggest you consider capability more heavily than proximity. There are many capable watchmakers out there if you're willing to ship the watch to them.

 

Agree. Any sugestions?

 

thanks much, gator!

If you're shipping the watch, distance really doesn't matter.

 

I can't personally vouch for him/her/it, but there's this listing on eBay and the guy claims to service pretty much any complicated UG. The ony problem (for you) is that he's in Michigan. I have no affiliations with the seller.

There are UGs and there are UGs. Some watchmakers might do fine with a three-handed watch but be stymied by a Tri-Compax. What sort of UG is this? Any photos?
