    I'm trying to find out more about this Universal Geneve 5656 but unfortunately Yahoo Japan is not accessible for non Japanese IP adressesses anymore. VPN does work but it does not bring me any further. Link: https://paypayfleamarket.yahoo.co.jp/item/k513774141 Links appears to be dead but perhaps someone who speaks the language may find a clue.

    I can only see this vagueish picture: https://images.app.goo.gl/Gir4Z98oAAVe14LPA

    I would like to find the original pictures from the ad and if possible the ad itself.

    Anyone who could help?

    Good detective work. That seller probably uses that background for other watch sales, which would make them easy to find on the PayPay flea market.

    There's an outfit on Yahoo! Shopping with the same avatar, but they're in Chiba while the seller above is in Yamanashi.

    This is the first seller's site: https://antiquelover.base.shop

    I’m lucky @Scarecrow Boat decided to sell his gorgeous UG FS Mark I or I might have been tempted to buy this much worse example with a replacement crown and damaged dial.
