This UG triple date's dial has months in Spanish, but days attached to the movement are in English.
I guess, this happens, but how about the dial?
It looks original to me ("swiss" at the bottom, crisp lettering); but because of the English/Spanish modification I have doubts.

Any thoughts?

 

My guess is the date disc was changed at some point

 

The day' disc has indeed certainly been changed.

Also, the gold plated hands seem to be slightly damaged at the center of the dial. May they have been badly replaced?

In any case, I love how the blue hands and moonphase Contrast with gold.

 

That is getting interesting! Thanks for your observation on the languages, gatorcpa.
I did a little research and found out that the dial is probably a South American one; in Spanish. Here's why:

1. At least one similar dial exists, with both "ENE and "SET". See here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/MAGNIFICENT-...LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20f77856e8&_uhb=1Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
2. In Spanish, September is indeed, "septiembre", but it can also be spelled "setiembre"... mostly in Peru/Uruguay. See here: http://spanish.stackexchange.com/questions/1099/septiembre-or-setiembre

Not sure if I am heading towards the right conclusion but it seems to make sense. Would love to know what you think.

Dial is original !

 

Thanks! I will try to find more dials in Spanish with "SET" for September.. And see where in which market they were sold.

 

Do you know how difficult it would be to find a day disk in Spanish, as well as a crown ? (The one on the photo looks too large to me.)

 

The spanish language academy accepted SeTiembre few years back, but at the time this watch was manufactured, the only accepted option was SePTiembre.

 

I learned something today. SET is an accepted abbreviation for Septiembre....in Spanish

 

Fascinating investigation.
I interestingly found another Spanish Dial of a Triple Date on Sala's book. It also uses "SET" for "septiembre". (screenshot from ThomasM review here: http://montresmecaniques.forumactif.com/t6960-universal-geneve-triple-date-phase-de-lune-ref-11306).
