Third one!

 

beautiful photos

 

Found this Universal a couple of weeks ago going through my grandfather’s things. I have looked online, but can’t seem to find the exact watch.
The two engravings on the back state that it’s 18k gold, and the one below that, I assumed, was the reference number, but I can’t find any matches online.
If you guys could help me determine if the watch is original at all, if it’s a redial, a Frankenstein or what reference it is, it would be awesome!
Obs: The number engraved on the back is 18514143.
Obs2: I have had the back opened, and it is powered by a caliber 330 movement.
Thanks in advance!

 

Rare reference of 1947,36.5 mm...what a pity it is chromed

 

Very nice dial Aging

 

A zenith and a UG

 

Can you post pic of inside case back ? Does it have UG logo?

 

The inside of the case back has nothing written on it. However, the movement on the inside looks fairly good.
What are your thoughts on it?
Thanks for the reply!

 

Return of the controversial piece.

 

A Polerouter Sub at +9,000 feet

 

If it's not signed UG anywhere then not a UG case. I think the dial and mvmt look OK.....

 

Sharing my latest catch, a 1930s Berthoud Geneve compur. This watch was, at one point, owned by the late Laurent (Noodia), making it extra special!

 

Not today but just to join @aap

 

Very nice, and with olive pushers

 

The early and rare double column wheel?

 

How I wish, but nope!
