Some comps. Interesting to see how the print is squeezed into the dial

No Mickey without a Minny. Incoming a Zenith ref 12513, serial 768.xxx (so very close)

Love it congrats 😀

This is amazing. I doubt I would have had the nerve to 'pull the trigger' so quickly.

OP: I'm curious, was it listed as a tri-compax or some other derivative of UG?

Very nice and desirable historical "impossible to find" artistic piece I wonder how many there are out there ...

Perhaps a handful. I have over 1k of early UG chrono's on file and this is the only one

6+ years later, and despite all the crazy offers thrown my way (some of them even made me reconsider my sanity), this watch is still on my wrist. Guess it’s true love—or maybe I’m just stubborn. 🙄

Busted! I still check the OF classifieds daily hoping to find this piece offered there at one of your special Buy-It-Now prices, Florent 🥰

It's great to see a story like this over those many years where the finder of a unique and lovely watch is still as enthusiastic about the purchase. Most of us mortals would have been tempted to fold to a high offer.

Wow! I’ve never seen that one either and what a great story behind it!

One to add to my hunt list.

Amazing how our watches reveal their dial details and intensity when hit by the right sunlight!
