Hey all, I'm a first time UG owner , long time horology enthusiast. picked up this beauty at a local flea market for a good deal, fell in love with the patina, reminded me of a patek, loved the moonphase (didn't own one yet) and knew enough about UG to know i was getting a deal. Anyways ive been searching and searching and CANNOT find this exact same model anywhere. reference wise, or whats its worth. any help would be greatly appreciated guys. i believe the reference on movt. is 291? and it is 14k gold filled i believe.....

Awsome find! Lovely UG calendar watch. Some info here: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&&2uswk&Universal_291
Thanks everyone. It was purchased from a gentleman at the aldergrove flea market. A suburb of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada... geat deal eh.... Lol sorry had to do it.
Nice watch ! I think if you take the case back off the case is probably 14k or 18k gold. Cool lugs, dial looks good, but I would have to see a better picture of the dial to see if it is original. Enjoy the watch ! .
Dial looks original, I guess some had the 31 in the date register in red and some in black ? People please chime in on this one .
Triple date moonphase watch, UG Tri-compax are triple date moonphase and three register chronograph !
Is it true that UG used 300 micron gold plating when every other watch manufacturer used 10 to 30 microns? Can't recall where I read this so it's likely totally useless info...
