Hi Larry, I meant I had to go and do some work. For clients but it's not in any field relating to watch making/repair. I agree with your assesment of the work required. It has not been used for some time and whilst I did give a small wind to make sure it works my intention is that is all I am going to do.

I am in the UK so will spend a bit of time looking for the right place to get it looked at and refurbished.

Thanks for your knowledge and when I have made progress with it I shall put up how it is going.

My very best

David

If you intend to wear it only have the movement serviced. No polishing or so.

Simon Freese and Swiss Time services come to mind. There may be others.

Thank you Larry. I will Google and find out.
UG can be a challenge because they are a defunct brand. Some watchmakers will turn them away. That said my watchmaker views them as well made and straightforward to work on. Look for someone with a proven record and solid parts network.

Wow, what a watch 🥰

in case it was not clear from comments so far, this watch has significant value. Proceed carefully whatever you do, so that you don’t inadvertently lower the value.
