Hello, dear OF members and UG experts in particular. I have recently come across a little strange Compur on eBay. It has been sold a few weeks ago and now has resurfaced with better photos and better description. Looking at the watch, I was in agreement with the seller, who declares that "these curved fixed lugs were added a long time ago and appear to have been done fairly well, I'd have to imagine that original lugs perhaps broke off and these were the solution". It´s fairly obvious that the lower lugs were repaired and resoldered not too nicely... for the rest it´s a clean job, but still very unusual for UG, so I thought they cannot be original.... ...until... I came across another Compur with exactly the same lugs, this time on Chrono 24. What do you think? Pictures and links follow: Example no. 1 https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-19...-Chronograph-Watch-ORIGINAL-Dial/124422896649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network (last photo is from the earlier eBay offer, but it is the same watch) Example no. 2 https://www.chrono24.com/universalgenve/pre-compur--id17084075.htm P.S. I am not the seller and I am not buying any of the watches either... I just have never seen this type of lugs before and it´s strange seeing 2 within just a few days. Thanks, Martin
I think the cases are legit- Ebay one was fixed up and the C24 one seems fine. UG had a spectacular array of case configurations in this era and throughout their history.
