    Hello everyone,

    I recently purchased this UG watch and after closer inspection am curious as to whether it’s a complete redial or a made up watch altogether. The paint on the dial appears to be quite flaky and there are a few pieces chipped off at the edges. Looking for some advice and opinions please. Thanks, Lee.

    Redial

    So much paint up the side of all the markers gives it away as does the the light font.

    And

    The handling of a movement like that is not good for the movement

    It's a redial with brushed, relumed hands.

    It's also very rare, but not impossible, to see Swiss Made instead of Swiss from this time period
