    Universal Geneve, SS 34mm case is sharp (this is the larger size), takes an 18mm strap, uncommon to see these with alpha hands, nice matching blue second hand. Cal 267 has been fully serviced this week, and original dust cover is a nice bonus. Everyone seems to call these "military" style, whatever that means.
    Dial is proving hard to photograph, every picture makes the dial lume staining way stronger than it appears in the metal. Have tried to adjust the first pic to make it a better match for real life, but still looks worse in the photos. I can confidently say the dial looks much better in person, the staining is visible but much more muted than it photographs.
    I don't normally offer returns but will offer a 3 day return window for anyone concerned about how the dial looks in person (buyer pays return shipping).
    I am just looking to get my money back out with $390 USD net to me via paypal (F&F or you cover the fees). Free shipping CONUS, intl at buyers expense.
    Watch head ONLY, does not include nato strap.
    Plenty of refs here on OF and Ebay.

    Thanks Florent. I wonder sometimes why I spend the time buying these on ebay, getting them serviced, and then just selling at cost. It takes a while and I don't make a dime, but I think I enjoy bring these little guys back to life so they can still be used. (My GF thinks I'm crazy, and she's probably right).
    Anyhow a perfect daily beater, and who knows what this watch has been through the past 70+ years. Pretty cool. I was going to keep this one for myself because of the hands, but with around 20 UGs, I need to keep cutting....
