    Hello everyone,

    As the title says, should I pull the trigger on this UG? It's 18k yellow gold with a silvered dial with light spotting on the dial - a sign of age. I believe it is a 50s model. It's a size 36 but wears likes it's 38 because of the thin bezel.

    The seller is asking 25k Egyptian Pounds which is roughly 1350 usd.

    What at are your opinions?

    Ok going out on a limb here because 3 hand info is not plentiful...Given my love for gold UG chrono and therefore benchmarks.... I think this is correct and beautiful.

    What's the reference on the case back? I can't see it right but looks strange...

    I don't like the price. IMO, and Polerouters aside, 1,35k for a three hander not perfect, is too much...

    I like. Try to negotiate something but don't miss it if you like it.

    I'll just say that that would go for perhaps than half the asking price on Ebay.

    That's a very strange reference for a yellow gold UG, never saw any, since the 40's until the 2000's, that the reference didn't Start with "1".
    would love to see the inside of the caseback but, and by now, my opinion is that's not an original UG case.

    You need a movement shot and one of the inside of the caseback. It's far too expensive for something with question marks and you'll struggle to get the price back even if it's 100% correct - if it's not then it's going to tank.
