Crosspost from the ebay forum:
What do we think about the caseback engraving of this 22409 RLM? IMHO the font is off https://www.lemuseonline.com/watche.../2139-universal-geneve-compur-30-rlm-nav.html

Some comps:

So we have now seen the following serials:
804.825/ RLM 5453: https://www.phillips.com/detail/universal/CH080219/252 & https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...y-ww2-rlm-nav-spillman-radium--id14131720.htm
804.839 / RLM 5609: https://omegaforums.net/threads/universal-geneve-compur-30-rlm-nav.57873/
805.007 / RLM 5537: https://ineichen.com/auctions/timed-5/3/
805.020 / RLM 5484: Knirim

Knirim has also other brands with the RLM inscription. All starting with a 5 btw.

Interestingly enough there are watches in the same batch with a serial which falls in between these numbers for instance this one https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/universal-geneve-ref-22409-compur-30-lot-314-48 Serial 804.942 but no RLM inscription. Same goes for 804.837 https://www.thosewatchguys.com/soldwatches/universal-geneve-compur-30-ref-22409 (the famous scratch one)

This is a time capsule thread revival. A reminder of knowledge now departed.

@LarryS Which knowledge? I know them all 😁 Probably made in a batch of 300 pieces. From the 14 I know 9 have a RLM inscription (which is not clustered)...
