Thanks

 

Wow, that is super nice. What year is it, early-mid 60's?

 

Sharing my latest acquisition, this Polerouter Date with the cyclop window (the idea of which was discussed here)

 

A couple of weeks ago I got a Universal Geneve that obviously needs some work. I wonder what happened to it. And please help if someone knows of any parts.
I belive the model is called 104.42 something...

I guess some gold parts is missing, and that it's supposed to look something like this with the black dial. It's really hard to find any information about what the proper name for the watch is.

 

Just so I'm not seen as tooooo much of a carpetbagger in this sub forum these are my current UGs>>>

Classic Polerouter w/no-lume dial & hands:


And jumbo Gold Tri-Compax with brown accents/sub-registers:



Happy New Year, everyone, and may all your collector's dreams come true in 2017!

Rare Beauty

 

It's taken four years to track down the parts, find the right watchmaker and make her whole again.
Maybe my favorite UG reference of all time.

 

This pic shows the warmth and golden patina of these dials, mine is quite light compared to others I've seen that get almost yellow. What you can't see is the vertical brushing, I need to work on my photography

 

Absolutely stunning. And also your quest shows what people just getting caught up in the excitement of Tri-Compaxes may not completely understand -- a very difficult watch to get parts for if something is seriously wrong.
Enjoy that beauty now that you've made it whole again -- it's gorgeous & well worth the effort!

Wow Lou thats a minty morsel!

Thanks Tom. Yes they can be pesky to find parts for but I've never been so excited to get a watch back from service

 

That is why we must wear them gently and select our watchmakers carefully.

 

Something is gone, something is still here..

 

That is a really nice selection Fab ...

talk to me!!

 

Thank you Dean!

 

Wow. What a great collection!

 

Thank you!
