    Hello-
    It's been a while since my last post as these things take a bit, but attached is my first draft of a Nina Serial Number project:
    http://alphahands.com/faq/universal-geneve-nina-rindt-serial-number-project/

    I'll be adding more pieces in the coming week, but wanted to share what I have to date.
    Feedback welcome...and appreciated!
    As with the other serial/case number projects I have (Zenith A386, Type XX 3-register, etc.), I will be adding more detail on dials, hands, bezels, etc. in the future, so all sections will be consistent.

    Buy smart, everyone!

    Thanks for taking the time to compile this- looks organized and informative. I'd suggest saving a photo for each example besides the source link in case the source gets taken down we lose sight of the watch.
    Interesting to see the Nina made in 1981::confused2::
    Universal really was a crazy operation.

    Thanks @jumpingsecond
    I'll be adding more thoughts/analysis hopefully shortly as well. As for 1981...not quite sure what to say about that...
    And have no fear re: the images ;)

    Just want to say big thanks to everyone who has shared images and serial number information for the database on email, DM, PM, IG, text...everything :thumbsup:
    I've updated a tremendous amount since my first rev last week, including all I have found on IG.
    Hope it is useful, and please let me know if you have any suggestions on improvements.

    I have now added a number of images for examples within each section (dial, hands, crown, bezel, caseback).

    Unfortunately no plans to do the same for an Evil Nina (at least until I get one...). Next up will be a Clapton research project...stay tuned!

    Can someone please help me with the strap size for the Nina? If I wanted to purchase a leather strap what size would it need to be?

    Thanks in advanced
