Adding "please" is not just good manners, it will likely get you an answer. Were you able to find a single example of that dial color? Is the watch in India?

I can only find the blue and dark blue color dial on the internet. Not the light blue color like this one. Thats why i am confused. The watch is in Singapore.

Thank you for ur time and reply. I really appreciate it

My suspicion is that it's a redial. More knowledgeable members will be along to give their opinions.

I am not a Polarouter expert but I do own one. In my research journey with UG I have never seen a dial with a garish color like this so I'd peg it as redial. Also the radial minute markers are not consistent.

The case is original and was designed by Gerald Genta. Both the case and the dial ring have been heavily worn or overpolished.

The dial was refinished in a color never used by Universal. We see this quite often with watches sold from India.

We call this a "Mumbai Special". My guess is that the movement has parts from several watches. It likely is working for now, but won't be working for long.

You can find better examples.

They are asking 1000 USD for this piece . What would say? I just wanna hear from people like u because u know way better about watch than me. Also, i dont know about the price of this kind of piece.

Thank you so much

The second one is much better (original dial) but, with a replacement crown and crystal, is way overpriced.

If you can live with a patinated dial, a replacement crown and crystal, i might have something for you much, much cheaper. PM me

I sold an almost identical watch for little more than half that amount. Mine had an original crown and replacement crystal.

I had replaced the original crystal and included it, even though cracked and unusable.

That watch is way overpriced.
