    Hi, I'm very new to this forum and so please forgive me if I repeat any threads. I just want you guy's opinion on this UG dial which I just purchased. Personally I have not seen any UG watches with this type of hands with Uni-Compax in red fonts. There is also an error on the tachymeter with a repeated "180". The printing looks original to me though. I I do not have the tools to get the case open so I do not have any photos of the movement. Please do share with me your views if this is a franken watch.

    Managed to open the case. Seems like missing 2 screws at the top too.

    As well as the double 180 you have a 250 where it shouldn’t be. As others have said it’s a redial.

    Also one screw missing at bottom right lug. Plus one wrong replacement part: The "wire" leading from the missing screw at the bottom to the wheel is wrong. Reminds me of another paperclip watch...

    Ok guys. Thanks for all your feedback. Here's another question. I think I need to replace the reset pusher on my tri compax as this one doesn't fit unlike the start/stop pusher. Not sure which one I should get. But i found one on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-CH...h=item442fb6f57d:g:E3kAAOSwD1pcDVt5:rk:3:pf:0Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Can anyone here verify if that one is usable? Mine is a reference 22279, measuring 34mm w/o crown. DSC_0208small.jpg DSC_0209.JPG

    I replaced this same pusher on my tri-compax. No, this is not what the inner part of the pusher looks like, you will need to buy one very specific to this caliber UG. I bought a pair and replaced the lower one, too bad you didnt need an upper replacement or I would sell you my extra one from the pair!

    Oh I see. That's just too bad. Theres one on eBay but it's in gold. I need a steel one. Anyone has a spare to sell?

    By the way Rosspo, would you be so kind as to help me take a picture of your other pusher and also pass me the measurements so I have an easier time sourcing for the parts?

    Here is a photo of the pusher as an example. They come up occasionally on the bay. I am not sure which calibers are interchangeable, but find what caliber movement you have and hope for one to come up.
