Hi guys,

I don't know anything about UG but somehow gotten a hold on this Tri-Compax, and I was wondering what is original about it and what isn't.

Would love some advice, thanks!

PS: How do you open this caseback? Don't seem to find any space to put a caseback knife in between.

 

Hi RJ, sorry to say but the watch seems to be a complete franken job. That snap caseback definitely don't belong to that case with the mushroom pushers, the case ref 22258 on the caseback is a totally different case with square pushers that should like this,



Dial doesn't look good, the hour and minute hands look like they don't belong to UG as well. If you are thinking on buying it, I would avoid it at all cost.

 

Thanks

 

My 22258 with golden hands, for reference:

 

I love how the E in Unversal is popping up in the top subdial to say hello to the 15.

 

However Dr. Franken did a nice job !
