·It is a chrome plated case, but I think a pretty rare ref. I have found another one here http://claremontvintage.com/product/ug_12/
noo been keeping an eye on this one however https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-...241765?hash=item1ed823c525:g:S44AAOSwLwBaYPt2
Free advertising, thanks! Makes my prices look very expensive though 😉
In all seriousness, I think you did extremely well there. I was following the auction and on another day might have decided to buy myself a second one at that price.
I don't think there are many examples of this watch. This very watch was covered in Hodinkee's "Bring a Loupe" here https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/bring-a-loupe-april-1-2016
The issues that they raised were all wrong as the crown, hands and case are all perfectly original and genuine and are exactly the same as on my watch.
The hands are all wrong I'm afraid. This one has been covered before on this forum. The photos are terrible, the movement tired etc etc
I would stay well clear.
