Hello all,
I'm proposed this chrono. But I'm not sure about the dial and the hands.
Could you please give your opinion to the newbie I am ?
A great thank,
Claude

 

Reject the proposal.

 

Hi @CLAUDE BESSON and welcome to the forum! We would recommend that you run away from that watch. Instead spend your time reviewing threads in this forum that feature vintage UG chronographs. Try to find the reference book by Pietro Giuliano Sala on UG chronographs, and look in the Sales forum for watches that occasionally come up for sale here.

If you are new to vintage watch collecting, read these threads:

You need to learn what to look for (in a correct watch) and what to avoid, which is a challenge even for the most experienced collectors of UG chronographs.

 

Look at some pictures of real UG dials. Then you will smirk and move on.

 

Kudos that you had an inkling this was a terrible redial and came here. Follow advice above.

 

On a less serious note, isn't that avatar used by another member?

 

Thank you all for your answers ! I had serious doubts, hence my post and the need of your advices.
I'll keep away from that watch so. For the avatar, it's my prefered, but I don't mind at all if I have to change it.
Keep safe all of you !
Claude

 

Not even a good attempt! Not that the seller is scamming (maybe?) , just a bad redial

 

Hello,

Actually the case, handset, movement, crown and pushers all look fine.
The (re)dial is just terrible.
So if it’s very cheap and you are willing to spend some (a lot of) time looking for an original black dial, then the watch might be worth buying...

 

Thank you martinc, i'm not that stuck to it, and the price is rather high, and most, I'm not at all familiar with this brand. I've read a few posts about "reproduction" dials, very easy to make a mistake again.....
Anyway, I really thank you all for your kindness !
Claude
