How often do you get to unbox a 75 year old UG Triple Date Moonphase ?! Uploading full res pics, be sure to zoom to 100% for full mind blowing effect....
Aside from the overall amazing condition, a few things stand out to me..... 1) the beautiful detail on the box (which has leather edges and cloth main body) 2) non UG strap and buckle (although the buckle is a work of art !) 3) look at the dial paint loss/aging even in a NOS example
I wish I could say it belonged to my Grandpa and we just found it in the old chest of drawers, but sadly I don't really have any backstory on this one, it was just a lucky pickup.
Not one that's usually interested in vintage pieces, but this type of find definitely changes that! This could become a very expensive post for me
Go for it ! You have a massive and beautiful collection. Catch and release, let some of those go back into the wild and keep fishing
Stunning watch! Not to derail, but does anyone make box stitched straps like this anymore? I am sick of looking for “vintage” style straps only to see the pilgrim two stitched leather slabs that people call “vintage” style- never would you see something like that on a quality watch- ever! This is what a vintage strap looks like- rounded tongue, lightly padded, stitched all the way around including the return at the buckle, stitched-in keepers, slim buckle- where can we get new ones like these!
