    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 :p.

    Case and movement don't belong together, subdial hands wrong, certainly a redial...

    Well, at least, the box looks UG genuine but unfortunately is not included on the sale...

    Pretty much everything here is just wrong. Stay far away. If you just like the piece to wear that's one thing, but it is not an example to collect! Cheers,

    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.
