From European Watch Co up in Bwaston. Case looks right (for a change), and lume not filling the hour plots is correct, but this looks odd - the lume dots are a little too generous. Assessments? Service dial? Nitpicking on my part? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-G...2346&clkid=5076877777925030159&_qi=RTM2067267Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
Looks legit to me, not sure if this bracelet goes with the watch ? More pictures could help, my gut feeling that it a very nice example. Prices are expensive for this iconic sub ! Lucky I have one !
In general, I do like it. The lume plots are fatter and cleaner than I am used to seeing, so I'm questioning whether they are new or this is a service dial.
Yes Lou, I see what you're saying. If it is a new old stock dial, maybe ? Does look to good for it's age. Could be touched up ?
While I am no expert on the model, I'd still venture to assert that there is no way it is an original, untouched dial. The color and cleanness of the lume on the dial and in the hands is simply too dissonant. Perhaps a service dial, or perhaps a re-lume.
What about this one? The lume is completely different from yours. Looks like it lost the lume on the outer dial. I don't even know if this is real or a fake. It's much cheaper which makes me doubt. Case seems different (angles) but might not even be the 1st generation.
It is a fake, there is a whole thread about it in this forum, I couldn't seem to find it but it is there and sure worth a read. Lous and Georgetown Hoya were major contributors to that particular thread.
I was actually looking for it in case I ever end up with a few thousand dollars to spend on a real one. Couldn't find it either but will keep on looking.
Does anyone else find it odd that it is suddenly raining 1st Generation PSubs when they have been rarer than hen's teeth for the past 4 years? http://www.ebay.com/itm/171736912346?rmvSB=truePurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.matthewbaininc.com/watch-details/1780 http://romainrea.com/montres/montre-collection-universal-geneve-polerouter-sub-chocolate-1048.html https://www.chrono24.com/en/univers...b--id3240745.htm?id=3240745&picnum=0&tab=pics
