    Hi everyone,

    just had a quick question:

    Trying to spot whether this is a redial on this UG Triple Date Moonphase. Were there any examples of the TDM that didn’t have the red “31” on the day subdial? See the below where the 31 is black.

    [​IMG]

    Also, does this caseback look okay? The font on the stamp isn’t something I’ve seen before.

    Looks like a watch for sale in the Netherlands. H/M hands and caseback look incorrect to me

    yes there are original dials without red 31.

    This dial looks fine to me.

    Not sure about the H/M hands.

    Caseback stamping looks very odd, I've seen other examples of this ref with very close serial number (to this) that look normal, not like this example above. It would be good to see inside caseback markings.

    I don't personally find the watch very attractive, aside from the above issues.

    It doesn’t have concentric circles in the subdial, i think that is odd? Also case back numbers surely an add on by someone else later. I would stay away from this watch.

    Don’t see "SWISS" on the dial but it might be lower

    Dial is good. Hands (H/M) are not (but that has already been said ! The case back could be original. However, it has been turned (put on a lathe and skimmed). Whoever did it, also stamped or cnc'd / machined the the reference and serial back on. Reference is correct and serial lies well within production date ...

    Ref 21308

    Your photos have these concentric circles in the subdial, but the OP doesn’t. That is what bothers me.

    Thank you everyone. I really appreciate the expertise. I'll pass and hold out for a better example. If anyone has one of these UG triple date moonphases they are interested in selling, feel free to reach out.
