What do you think about this one? Original? I think the hands minute/hour-hands are not right. What do you think about the dial?
And what is the reference? I don't find the numbers on the case back in Salas book and in the internet as well... Ideas?

It is 18K yellow Gold. The movement is not working: the calendar doesn't work and the transmission wheel (clutch wheel? in german "Kupplungsrad") is broken. What do you think, how much would be a repair round about?

What would be good price for the watch, what do you think.

Thanks!

All I can say is that it is a bad redial and that the movement looks in horrible condition, i would personnaly run away.

And if you can't find the ref in Sala's book it's because the back cover has been changed, it's not from this watch (diameter too small btw) it's from a non-chrono UG...

What the hell is this? I was excited about the case until I read "The gold plated case has an acrylic presentation cover". Which means that the movement was fitted into this weird case.

I've seen one much worse than that; it was a Unisonic similarly fitted with a "glass" back. The real joke is that it was being sold by a Berlin dealer (also with an Ebay shop) with premises on one of the capital's most prestigious shopping streets and you can imagine what end of the price range it was.

Very nice dial in good original condition looks like a later reprint with original cliche by UG (i would recommend that you read discussion on re-issued dials)
Very pricy IMHO !!!

Could someone help me out even with these bad pictures? The dial looks original to me. The crown is a replacement and so is the seconds hand. Anything else that I missed?

Thanks
