    It seems that there is more patina on your BMW sign rather that on the dial ;-)

    Nice grab !! ;-)

    I would love to find a nice honest UG chrono. It seems that a lot of their dials age badly which is why I believe a lot are redialed...
    Anyway, congrats!

    Watches are notorious for letting moisture in the crown,and chronographs with rectangular pushers. Dry climate owners probably fair better.With this being said , obviously some vintage watches didn't get worn very often, or worn not at all ! These are the ones that us collectors are looking for !

    Of course, they're the ones you should look for. I'm just wondering if UG's dial quality in the 1940/50's was on par with other brands ?
    When I see Gallets, Omega, Girard Perregaux from the same era I'm under the impression that they're usually in better nick...

    Seems like maybe UG outsourced several dial makers, and maybe thats where the inconsistency starts ?
