Maybe to help holding the caseback in place ?

It's build your own watch time. Looks like someone got his hands on some NOS pieces and made a few Franken's.

That's the one I was less sure about. They could all be prototypes. 😉

If he'd managed to find a white bezel variant I think the middle one could be quite interesting 😜.

obviously redial, subdials hands are wrongs, chrono, hour and minute hands may be original

Hi All,

Sorry to be back to this theme/watch, but I found on internet several UG tri-compax ref 12296 and all of them them have the "screws" on the case.
Base on your previous comments I believe this is not common on UG, but specifically for this reference can this be considered normal?

Thanks

Perhaps. I think the OP watch is just ugly. Screws are too.

I think its a lighting issue with the hands. Too bad its plated.
