Question about case work, specifically drilled lugs. I've used this board as a reference on a bunch of different topics regarding these early UG chronographs and haven't been able to find a conversation on this subject. Browsing the web, I've come across a lot of examples of 1940s era tri compax that look pretty spot-on correct outside of the drilled lugs. Did UG ever do it? Maybe later on at a client's request? If not, any idea why so many have been adulterated in that specific way when they seem like they were left alone otherwise? I'm finding this confusing because it seems like such a minor aesthetic point when a dial/case look great otherwise, but meaningfully effects the value of the watch all the same.
Thanks!
