Serial number 1107421 dates this watch to 1945. Period incorrect dial type, m/h hands, and crown - all genuine UG parts from the 50's - and 3 out of 4 subdial hands (date, sub-second, and hour register) are of incorrect length, but honest to god, it is still a nice watch. This would technically be called a franken watch, but I'd say that it's a thousand times better than all of the examples with terribly refinished dials out there. These days you would have to pay a little less than two times what you paid for this watch for an all-original 40's Tri-Compax.
