Very intruiging Aero Compax on insta: https://www.instagram.com/p/CWIa_1orfeC/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Reference 22414 and serial 798k. I've asked whether the bridge is marked UG or Siegerin. Not much to be found on this connection but for this one (which unfortunately has no pictures any more): https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/siegerin-with-ug-285.1042276/

Had contact with the owner. This is really very intruiging. 100% legit IMHO (but for the relume). Serial is in a well known range of 3rd party labelled UG's. What is really unique (as far as I know/have seen) is that the bridge is not signed. Some more pics:

I got one too and love it!

And to add some context. Siegerin is a brand of Alpina / Dugena . Some Alpina and Siegerin three hand watches also used UG movements. Alpina / Siegerin was top of the line in the Dugena lineup.

Very interesting. I now have 9 22414's from this batch recorded. Tanknumber suggest a batch of 122 pieces so probably 125 made.

All 9 of them are Siegerin watches or also other brands, and if yes, which ones? Would be cool if you could share this knowledge.
Thanks

3 Siegerin and the others UG

22414 was made in a number of batches:
752.1k: 75(?) pieces
752.6k: 75(?) pieces
798k: 125(?) pieces
826k: 300(?) pieces
828k: 15(?) pieces
865k: 100(?) pieces
874k: 200(?) pieces
1.487k: 300(?) pieces
.
So in total (at least) 8 batches and probably something like 1200 examples. Known survivors: 35 or about 3%. Tanknumber suggests that 21 Siegerins were made so probably 20-25 pieces. KSR is then 12-15% which is high
