    hello OF members :)
    Just got a new UG with nice blue hands, inside the bezel has like a minute track ( I don’t know how to name it) , dial is not in great condition and don’t know if it’s painted or may be its from another material so it can be cleaned .
    I have no idea about caliber 1107 and the age of the watch ? Anyone has a similar one ?
    Crown is original as the rest of the watch. Size is 34mm without crown. I’ll check the references that are on the case back.
    Now needs a service and deep cleaning , I already did some external cleaning but inside the case I don’t want to do it as the dirtiness can go on the caliber . Some screws missing so the caliber is moving inside the case , that’s easy to be fixed. Plexiglass I guess will have to be changed as has a big crack, I’ll see once is polished if it’s ok or not.
    Just want it to share the watch
    Thanks

    Should transform nicely with a service.
