Hi my friends, recently I bought this handwinding Universal (Cal.332), the case is in very good conditions (for an early 40's watch) and the edges are very sharp. Have the original crown and an original Universal clasp too (I don't know if is the original for this model). My question is if you have seen a similar dial? I did a research over the internet and didn't find a similar dial. I think that probably is a redial, however the second track is a good one. I want to see how is supposed to be the original watch. Kind regards

 

There are a bunch of things not adding up about the watch. Are you sure it's a cal 332? Can you provide a movement shot and inside case back? The dial does not look original, but also the whole thing seems to be put together from different time periods. It would help to see under the hood to know what we are even dealing with.....

 

This is a photo from the vendor, I can't open the watch to take the photo myself

 

If it’s a UG case (need inside caseback pics) then it looks like a later mvmt in an earlier case with a reprint dial, and at least second hand wrong. As far as redials go, it’s quite a nice dial IMO

 

Nice strap and buckle though!!

 

The strap looks a bit distressed from being squeezed into the wrong size case. What is the buckle size? If it takes a 16mm strap end that is some value.

 

It will be a 14mm buckle.

 

Is a 16 mm buckle, the buckle Is more valuable than the watch

 

I have only ever seen that style in a 14mm

 

The buckle is from the early-mid 1960s.

 

No, they come in many different sizes
