·Looks fine to me. Stainless version of this:

Edit. The watch is on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universa...424809?hash=item4214c6f569:g:UV4AAOSw0N1ebtSL
Dial printing looks good. Crown unsigned.

·Goodmorning everyone,
I found this UG but having never seen others like it, I am puzzled. Is it original or is it a Franken? Thanks in advance for your help. a warm greeting
Valentino
That looks like a good old UG. However, larger photos are needed to confirm if dial is original and not a redial and it would be good if you could post images of movement. From what I can see, the only thing that looks dubious is the crown but will need a closer look to confirm.

·Looks great to me and very unlikely to be a redial in my opinion.
They are not uncommon - an internet search for the Universal Geneve 206515 (stainless steel) or 406515 (gold plated - rather than capped I think) will reveal several different sub references with different dial and hands combinations.
There are some with fantastic unusual dials with stripes etc
If I had to generalise, I would say these are effectively a UG poor man's Polerouter with a manual wind Cal 332 movement.
I owned the Estrella De Luxe signed version pictured above and wore it a great deal but was pleased to be able to sell it to a collector from the Philippines who was collecting Estrella signed watches.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.@PrincipeAsturie ... would you be so kind as to change the title of your thread to include the Reference 206515 7. This makes it more searchable. Cool piece. I look fwd to more pics.

I think Killer wants you to watch frankenstein. It’s a classic!

·Because he came out with an opinion but appeared to dress it up as a fact. He hasn't exactly been forthcoming with why he's arrived at the conclusion despite being asked to. I very much want people to challenge potential frankens and re-dials (I've been accused of being rude by doing this in the past) but you've got to explain your workings out.
Carlton-Browne you are a gentleman (and a scolar) ...
