Hi Folks,

Just found this 38mm black beauty, early Universal Watch Compur with sandwich dial and gold printing...

Some job to do on this one but what a dial!! (Plexi removed for the pics!)

Florent, this is just fantastic. What are your restoration plans? Stabilize or go further?

 

Thats a treasure. Incredible find!

 

Wow, amazing piece. Who‘s casemaker 166?

Unbelievable!!! Amazing sandwich dial !!! huge congrats

 

Thanks for your comment...
I hesitated between swap this to another collector or have it perfectly restored ... As I'm moving the tropics for two years ... I will entrust this piece to my watch guy so he can source hands, service movement, clean the case and fabric on mesure strap ...
It will take a long time but worth it I think!

 

look who arrived first! I was speaking with the seller to ask for some damn better pics when you bought it! ahah
congrats

 

small world, it's often the same crew after the same stuff

 

totally! I am happy to see that it's in good hands!

 

Were it me, I’d do the same. Can’t wait to see the end result. Lovely and historic piece.

 

This is really special
