    Hi All

    I have a Universal Geneve Cal 139 that is in great cosmetic shape with the movement running and case/dial in great condition.... or so I think.

    what confuses me about this watch is that it has text of “Auto-Wind” on the dial. I can find 0 examples of anything UG with “auto-wind” everything says Automatic.

    the only other autowind I can find is the same era Gruen Autowind but it does not have the - between the auto and wind for most of them.

    i assume this is a redial but do not have a lot of familiarity with UG.

    Well unless there is severe distortion through the crystal, the uneven font, bad alignment, poor print quality and erratic letter spacing scream redial to me

    The only thing in that watch that came from UG is the movement and possibly hands.
