Congratulations ! But that's a venus 178, not an Universal Geneve movement, you could get for cheap a venus 178 in perfect order, why did you went to the whole process with a rusted movement ?
Hello to everybody,a month ago,I write about my ug aerocompax 1960,and many persons.told me,the watch is irreparable,well here the proof that those persons are very wrong.the watch is working already,the watch maker gonna make the watch waterproof,
A cheap venus 178?? Lol,if u have one I can buy it to u,inmediatly.
I never say that movement is UG,this movement belongs a ug aerocompax 24h
Good for you because servicing my fully functional 285 did cost me around 450€ retail.
Surprise, surprise! I admit I haven't expected that this rusty piece could be brought to life again...
If I bring such a movement to my watchmaker he would tell me that this is a write-off. But prices are much higher in Europe, I suppose.
A member told me,it doesn't care if the watch was in venezuela,Russia or mexico,,lol,that member are very wrong,I can't hear all that member that laughing about my watch,lol,
Maybe many of u gonna see the watch in auction in a higher price
My UG cannot compete with the beautiful examples shown here, but it does have a history and.is precious to me. This was my dads watch, he bought it new in 1956 from Bensons to celebrate a new job. It was his only watch and he wore it for fifty years. I now wear it a lot, it runs well and keeps good time, as you can see it has a lived in look! Although not valuable in the monetary sense it will be passed on, with my other watches, to my sons.
