Hi all,

a new kid in town with this nice UG cal 42.
It looks like new!

At first it seems really small, but the bracelet make it feels a bit bigger.

I didn’t knew what to expect when buying it, but I must say it’s greater than I expected

Lovely and congratulations to an amazing looking watch. It doesn’t get any cleaner and no-nonsense than this one. The bracelet adds a nice touch of funky ness to it.

would you mind sharing the diameter.

Sure, it is 31mm without crown, before buying it I thought it would have been definitely too small, but I wanted to give a try as I was looking for an ultra thin watch. After fews days, I fell like the diameter is ok for my 7inch wrist, even if it’s weird when I take it off to put my 41mm Tudor black bay!

I think the bracelet make it looks bigger

I was really surprised to find this thread! This specific reference is really scarce, not a lot of people give it the attention it deserves imo. Hopefully we can collectively change that in the next few years !!

I was a bit reluctant to put it on a leather strap, but a must say it works great on yours!
I should give a try, but don’t have any 16mm! 😀
