    I thought this one needed a thread since these UG Jaeger chronographs are few and far between especially in stainless steel.

    Dre posted his in gold in April and there are a few common design features. Here's his thread:

    With the "two" in 12, mine has a remnant from the art-deco era, but the serial places it circa 1940.


    These pictures are post COA but for the movement shot, I believe that was a before picture.

    Love the blued hands with the gold markers, and the unpolished glory of those bevels both on bezel and lugs.

    Ref 22462 UG(Martel) cal285

    My watchmaker did not find any hidden issues from any previous entries into the movement, so he performed a standard COA and polished the crystal a bit.

    Enjoy

    Wow, beautiful watch. Any details on the band? I think it fits very nicely.

    Ahhh I was looking for this thread. I have the gold one now but I remember reading about the steel and never dug out the photos.

    Thanks @loniscup for bumping this :)
