    Hello... I'm brand new to this forum. I've recently acquired a UG "Dato-Compax". I have the serial number for the movement which is 224908 and a model 283. In looking at the chart so nicely shared by Dre, I can't figure out where this falls. Since my numbers are considerably lower than 500,000 does this mean it's earlier than 1930? I though the Data-Compax came out in the 1940s... Some help would be appreciated. BoB

    Hello,
    I am to thus forum and actually a fun of Rolex and Omega.
    Some weeks ago I found myself owner of a UG retro watch. I searched o bit to understand its value and history but I can find something identical.
    Reading your post I understand that thus watch eas made somewhere at the middle 50s.
    What draw my attention is that although I searched forums, ebay and other sources and I found some similar watches it is the small golden plate in the dial that I can not see to any similar watch.
    Based on your superior expertise could you please check and let me know if there is any further info about this watch that you could provide?

    Thank you in advance for your attention.

    Worth making this a sticky as well. The difference between original bezel and the latest replica for Nina and Clapton.

    I came across these old UG ads will be sharing when I get them in my hands. Also came with a strap buckle and tri-compax box. Maybe this is the wrong thread to post in? I’ll delete if so.

    Not sure if this is the right place to post but I'm wondering what the difference is of the bumper movement cal 138ss and cal 139?
    Is parts interchangeable between them?

    No real clue what this is but whatever. Usefull pics. From: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/225190064451Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network I'd normally think the handset on that 22206 is aftermarket

    I would think its something like (P)ublication #XX

    It's a little hard to think about a word that will stay with the same initial across multiple languages, but in other words I'm thinking its some kind of basic inventory for printed materials, like Pamphlet 01, 02 03, or Brochure 01, 02, 03 or the like
