Has anyone seen these before? I’m not sure if they’re original. Also are the set too close, a little reminiscent of the placement on Florent’s a couple of weeks back.
Yes. I see. Similar style marker but with black. Also, as I noted, a little closer set to the 20-25-40-etc than yours. I would think they’re original since something else would be there or show evidence of having been there.
Dial looks like a factory 60s re-issue or possibly a redial. Gut feeling is that the markers are not Original to dial or black paint is added on. Not sure why one would want replace batons or paint them (they could have been already painted) as it would involve a lot of work. I am a little puzzled, but not convinced ... Better high res images please and serial and reference ....
I would assume that any vintage watch with black inserts in either the hands or markers, but not both, is likely not to be original. They should match.
You know, I was so fixated on the markers themselves that I didn’t even think about hands and markers not matching.
Interesting, never seen those black insert on the markers in any UG watches. Hope you wouldn't mind me sharing the caseback numbers below just for an archive of the reference,
