Any Ninas with Cal 130 seen? All I see are Cal 85s.

    Hello-
    I have read about, but never seen an image of, a UG Nina (885103/02) stamped as cal 130. I have quite a few pieces in the Alpha Hands UG Nina serial number project (https://alphahands.com/vintage-watch-research/universal-geneve-885103-02-nina-rindt/), but none shown stamped as 130, neither early nor late (I see one stamped as 125, which I don't believe is correct).
    If you happen to have one, or know of one, would love to see and add to the project.
    Thanks -

    Im assuming they should all be cal 85 - It is in assigned as the movement in the reference number 885103. (the first 8 designating it a steel case model).

    @CajunTiger are these /02? Would you have a pic of yours and the rarebirds (the rarebirds I see are stamped 85).
    Christies I had a blurry pic, but now have found a better one showing 130 (though I can't see a serial on it), thanks!! :thumbsup:

    The Rarebirds were sold a few years ago
    Search thru his archive.

    I may have saved a copy of the listings, I’ll look

    Thanks @CajunTiger
    Interesting that both Christies and rarebirds pieces have the later (2.56 serials) thick register hands with lume. If the Cal 130 appeared on early Ninas, I would have thought it would only be seen on the 2.41 serials with thin hands. Curious.
