Hello all! Please share your thoughts when you have a moment on this specimen! Seems genuine. Decent case condition at 37mm case, crisp lugs. The movement was interesting because I searched the web and came across similar pieces with a Cal 262. However this one states a Cal 264 movement? Thanks in advance. Pics below
Here's a link for some cal. 264 movements and an image of what it should look like. What surprises me is the Universal Watch. Co instead of Universal Geneve engraving. That big screw covering half the engraving is also suspicious. Dial and hands look original, but I don't have enough experience to confirm that they go with this cal. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lot-of-4-...ement-Parts-For-Parts-Or-Repair-/322025862238Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
I found this one that is similar which makes me think that hands and dial are original. Unfortunately the seller is not responding our offering a picture of the mecanism.
@tictictictoc BTW you've got almost 80 post, why no avatar? It will help you get more answers and it only takes five seconds.
The two screws are obviously (not perfect) replacements. The fact that it was for the US market (UOW import marking) might explain the Universal Watch Co (I am not an expert).
Thank you all for chiming in! I did not pursue it... kinda glad in a way. Point taken Jonatan... avatar in shortly
