Hi All, I just adquire a Ladies UG to offer to my wife. Nice vintage piece in my opinion,. but a little small. In the case back the reference is 28401.and the serial dates it between 1946 to 1949 I presume. Does any of you know if there was a different numeration system for non chronographs of UG? Thanks
+1, a very nice acquisition. I can't reply about the numbering system as I don't know enough about UG but the style is definitely 1940s. It's also nice that it's shock protected and anti magnetic, it makes it somewhat more convenient to wear in every day life. Definitely not waterproof though, so you should make sure to tell her to be careful when she washes her hands or when it's raining.
Far as I know the SN system works accross the line placing this as made in the late 40's. The case ref # however does not follow Sala. According to Sala the second digit should be a 1 (time only) ... The world of UG three hand watches begs for its own bible!
