I could be wrong but it looks like a redial with the sub dial numerals mashed together with the tachy and seconds track. I'd definitely ask the seller to clarify as he states its original.

 

Dial is ok but I think it’s a franken. Early dial in later case. Don’t have Sala handy though.

 

Seems ok to me... 81xxxxx is 40s ish and fits a compur.

 

I think so too,but I could be wrong.My last acquisition:Compur 30 ref.12457,cal. 386,ser. 805.xxx

 

So the case does not match the dial but the serial number does? Could there be a reason for that?

 

Looked at it on my computer and checked Sala. I think its ok. Case condition is not great but its an old watch. Menta is a relatively high profile seller. I think price reflects conditions.

 

Thanks guys, decided to pass on this and wait for one in better condition.

 

Seems like it closed at a decent price

 

Yea ... Not to bad. Those lug cracks really spook me though.

 

Glad you guys are here to check my work. I'm still learning about UG. I always thought when sub-dials are mashed on top of minute/second tracks mashed on top of something else it was a sign of something fishy but also know UG had some varying QC throughout their manufacturing and fonts/dials/designs are not always consistent. Anyway- thanks for the quick response for the OP so he didn't take my word on it!

 

These dials are legit. My latest acquisition, in a rare coin case ....I was more concerned with the case being later.

 

Those "lug cracks" are normal and part of the case forming process, as far as I understand.

 

That would explain their uniformity.
