    Currently on Ebay, a caseback from a Universal with RCAF markings. I am aware of these chronographs from Breitling and a few other brands (Rodania I think, although I'm no expert), but not of one from Universal. Anyone have one, or know what the whole watch looks like?

    Picture from Knirim, I believe but I can check my own copy later. Hint of a redial with a pointy A - or maybe just a bit of overprinting as a lot of the RCAF chronos started off with sterile dials?

    Is that movement shot from the Universal?

    Was this the brazillian seller who sold the Ug 38mm chrono?

    His shop seemed to have too many rarities. Like a 44mm oversize dial UG chrono dial in mint condition.

    Makes me a bit suspicious

    I was following that auction, unfortunately it ended early. I will take a look to his shop...
