I have an acquaintance who has just brought these to me .... Can anyone help with identification, age and so on. Sorry for the brief question but am in an auction room and typing on phone. Many thanks.
Hi all - I'm in front of a keyboard now and can ask properly. So, this gentleman offered me a watch a few weeks ago but has been unable to find it. He's gone through his collection of watches searching for that missing one and thought I'd find these interesting. The problem is that UG has never been high on my list. Not because I don't like them - I do - but if I bought everything I like, then I'd never stop buying. I'm aware how much of a minefield UG can be and I hoped that those with more experience of the brand would be able to give some advice. He is older and has a wide collection that he is looking to liquidate but he's not even sure when he bought these or what he paid so any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.
Quick bump to see if anyone has any comments. I know the photos aren't great as they were just taken on a camera phone in the saleroom but I'll be seeing this gent tomorrow and want to be able to give him some details ... I'm going to start doing a little reading around them now for myself.
