Nice what’s the case size
Approx 28 (I dont have a ruler / caliper) as I'm traveling. I just estimated it against the other watches I have with me.

1960's Universal Geneve Uni-Compax "Big Eye" Ref. 884100/02 (UG Cal.125). My grail watch!
It's been a labor of love, and what seems like an eternity to get this old girl back into shape, but today with her strapped to my wrist for the 1st time, I couldn't be more thrilled!
Still on the hunt for an original Blue Steel hand-set, but good things come to those who are patient, and my original (but painted) hands fit the bill for today!

You caught a Congrats!

Thank you for the kudos guys! I appreciate it!! She's certainly not perfect with polished case and painted hands, but her bones are true and solid! Original case, crown, cal.125 and dial is perfect. All that being said (good & bad) she's a Big Eye.....and just gorgeous.

Of course will stay on the look out for original steel blue hands, and hope to find one day!

Not something you see every day. Would these have been made for retailers?
