Hi guys, I've been lurking the forum for a while. Been hoping to find a steel UG triple date moonphase with english months and arabic numerals for some time.

Saw this steel example on eBay here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/203705130598

Does the dial look original to you? Any opinions on the watch would be appreciated.

+1. The different font on the 2 sub dials is something which keeps on surprising but me (as well) btw ;-)

Whether the movement is matching is a bit uncertain. This is -691 with movement 273.388. Closest comps:
- https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/24233/lot/63/ with -650 with movement 271.392.
- https://watchcharts.com/listing/128...l-geneve-moon-phase-watch-serviced-ug-291-cal with -649 and
271.393 (that both serial and movement differ just 1 digit is a coincedence

On the other hand: -827 has an unnumbered movement https://omegaforums.net/threads/fs-rare-large-ss-universal-geneve-triple-date-moonphase.66817/

Looks fine. The red hand should be over the moonphase, they often seem to get swapped positions

Great choice to chase I love those myself a reputable seller here was selling a beautiful UG but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a moonphase. Good luck. What did that one go for out of curiosity.
