This lot sold yesterday for USD 1.300 (https://jones-horan.hibid.com/lot/138825303/assorted-ww-chronograph-parts-lot?q=universal+geneve). Ref 22285 - so 32mm - with matching movement. Most (important) parts seem to be there and from the estate of a watchmaker. I stepped out at USD 1.000. Nice project but too risky for me above that price (and I will have to pay another USD 300-400 in shipping and taxes alone)

Hello Ben,
Just a speculation - on this particular watch (Compur ref 22223) couldn’t the “Swiss made” have been added later? The dial looks all nice and original, but the reference and serial number would normally (probably) imply a dial without “Swiss” on it.... (??)
The “Swiss made” has a strange serif font and kind of does not fit the radius of the other printing well...
Similarly for the “rolex caseback” Compur 22208 you posted earlier - it’s a serial and dial design I would expect to have no markings...

Do we know in what year (serial) UG started to put “Swiss” consistently on the chrono dials?

Re: 2&3 handers - I know nothing of them, wouldn’t dare to judge them, sorry.

Btw. This “Swiss made” debate would merit a proper thread... 😉

Idiots.

Dial seems ok to me… what I don’t understand is why the seller calls it a “Hermes” dial? ‍😕

Mark020 · Mar 5, 2023

24 in the right counter seems a bit sharpie 😉

I don't see the Hermes connection either

Because he thinks to be smarter than others. He named the other UG he has for sale "pre-colonial" with a crazy price. That specific watch was offered to me by Sala himself, 2 years ago, at 2.500€
Now that super hero tries to sell it for 17500€ 😁😁😁😁
