And to introduce myself, i want to show you my UG Triple Calendar Moonphase.

It is an Portuguese Version (Look at the Week-disk and the month), 14K-yellow gold in a very nice condition, i bought last year. 34,5mm size, cal. 291. Later i added an original UG teju leather band with original gold plated buckle of an later model.

What do you think?

I am looking for an original leather strap in brown (+ buckle), that was used on this model, do you have any idea, which one and where i can get it?

 

It's Spanish, not Portuguese...

 

I think it is Portuguese, because it is the portuguese month (setembro = set) instead of spanish (septiembre = sep) and the portuguese weekdays shown (Segunda-feira, Terça-feira, Quarta-feira, Quinta-feira, Sexta-feira, Sábado and Domingo) instead of Spanish weekdays (lunes, martes, miércoles, jueves, viernes, sábado, domingo)...

 

Portuguese - Janeiro, Spanish - Enero, English - January, UG - Ene. May is Maio in Portuguese, not Mayo that is spanish. I have no explanation for september...

You can believe me, i'm Portuguese and my wife is Spanish.

Anyway, good looking watch you have there, i'm still on the hunt

 

We use "Set" in Spanish for septembre.

 

Ok, thank you, understand. But why is there f.e. "SEX" on my weekday Friday - i thought it is portuguese SEXta-feira (and the other portuguese weekdays as well, SEGunda-feira, ...).

 

I have to admit that this is bizarre...
Are you sure that The dial and discs are original?

 

In your photo i only saw Dom that is correct for both languages...

The only explanation i have is that the disc and dial in your watch didn't leave the factory together or, hard to believe, UG made a huge mistake and assembled parts in diferente languages

 

i am sure, that it is not redialed and it is an original dial. But i am not sure about the month-disc... hm.

 

The dial looks good but months are in spanish, you can be sure about it. If you say that the days are in portuguese (and i believe you, i just don't see it in your photos - as i said before "Dom" is good for both languages), well, something happened: or the disc or the dial didn't belong originally to this watch or UG made a mistake in the factory.

But, as i also said before, it's a good looking watch and the pointed inconsistency is, imo, a minor problem. I wish i had one...

 

Regardless of the language, it is a very beautiful watch, indeed!

 

Hi, i found another watch at eBay Mexico, with the same difference in language: portuguese weekday disk and spanish months.

Look at the photo from the watch i found at ebay mexico:
I have noticed "SEG" for "segunda-feira", it is monday. In spanish it would be "LUN" for "lunes", right? That is strange, because the month are as well in Spanish (ene = enero) and not in portuguese, "Jan" for Janeiro. Same thing like my watch.

Seems like it is notmal - does somebody have any ideas, why UG did this?

 

If the watch is Portuguese it should have a Portugal Customs stamp on one of the lugs, like a very small hallmark. If it doesn't have that then it's unlikely to be from there.

 

It can be from Brazil...

 

I only see two possible explanations:

1 - UG factory made a mistake in the watch assemblage or,

2 - The dial or the day disc has been replaced somewhere in the watch life.

In my opinion, and is only speculation, the part replaced was the dial. Due to climate conditions the dials with 70 years from South America are not, generally, in so good conditions and what i'm seeing here are two original dials (i don't have many doubts about the originality) in very good conditions, so i'm guessing they were replaced much more later.

I know who's the guy who bought the inventory of Casa Universal in Argentina twenty years ago and a huge bunch of UG NOS parts were included: dials, hands, crowns, cases and, even, entire movements (I contacted him, two or three years ago, asking for UG parts and he told me that few parts still in his possession, he sold almost everything and anyway he doesn't do international shipping).

Maybe those dials came from him and were placed in watches originally sold in Brazil because, as @JimInOz stated, if they were sold in Portugal they'll have Portuguese Custom Stamp in one lug like my Tri Compax:
