Seeing this in local website, What do you guys expert in Universal think? Is the dial original? The case looks sharp, but what about the movement? What would be the value? Thanks
Micro rotor scraping the inside of the caseback is, unfortunately, an all too common occurrence. It has to do with two things: 1) the strange anchoring system that universal employed with varying degrees of success and 2) watchmaker's unfamiliarity with these unusual movements and errors in servicing. I'd pass on this watch. Looks like it is either a franken with a redial or a (formerly?) badly damaged watch with a redial.
