    I purchased this lot of UG parts of Ebay. Don't have time right now to do a detailed analysis, but thought I would post a few pics in case anyone spots something they are looking for. I can open things up and take more detailed shots if needed, I mostly just wanted to show the cal numbers, and if there is a particular part on any of the cals shown that you need, just reach out to me.
    I'm assuming this was already picked over by a watch maker and anything they thought valuable was parted out, but still it was only $60 and I figure even if I get one part it's worth it. I assume this is probably all time only parts, and perhaps a fair amount of small ladies calibers, but again, I haven't really investigated.
    I was particularly interested in the hands, but I don't really have any way of telling what they are for, perhaps others who are more familiar.
    Happy hunting!

    I'm sorry, I can't help identify any of the parts but that's a great looking box!

    Yah I thought so too. All the little metal tins are all stamped with UG and logo as well, under the stickers.

    Who has a UG parts catalog, so we can decipher the part numbers?

    CousinsUK. Not sure if this will work if you don't have an account with them.

    There are also some parts sheets here:

    Ok this is interesting ... I see chrono hands like the one on this watch. This is a collection of UG parts, ergo: the one on my watch is indeed a UG Chrono hand. Am I wrong? Perhaps I should not be in such a hurry to replace it.

    Sadly I don't think so. These are around 14mm center hole to tip, I think they are just common sweep seconds for a 267 (263?) or similar.
    I would think it would be really tough to identify UG hands from the shape alone, without dims? Even with dims trying to figure out what cals they will fit seems pretty involved?

    Don’t I know it. 300 euro for a not returnable minute leaf I can’t use.

    huh, I was just going off a few of my tri sweeps, which are all more like 16mm. I guess maybe they could be chrono sweeps, but the other thing is they are silver. You wouldn't know it from the photo, caught a weird angle and they look blue in the pic.... Your is blue right?
