This might fly high, more than 50 bids already and some days left...
Interesting dial, uncommon case/lugs, even if the case looks a bit overpolished...

@LouS got one of those 😉

Hmm, let them have it. Roman + Arabic on the same dial--have we seen that with UG before?

Any Roman chrono is going to have Arabic on the subs...

Fair (and right). Contrast is more jarring on this dial.

That's an interesting one. Being cynical it puts me in mind of those gold Chronograph Suisse with the hollow lugs - AKA selling "value engineering" as a design feature.

It’s the same as on my 287.
Same “w.co” marking on the bridge too.

From @LouS on a watch I own:

"Movement engravings were made in the US to comply with import regulations. They are found across a number of brands and movements, and frequently dismissed as inauthentic. They are genuine, in the same way as Fab. Suisse dials are in French-imported watches and that goofy lug punch is in Portuguese"

I could be wrong, but many of the hands, the dial, and crown all seem off on this watch.

Especially that chrono hand.

Saw this example on Matthew Bain. Would really appreciate opinions before pulling the trigger.

Do you know the asking price? At least you should factor in a service (balance wheel is completely at slow).
Concerning the dial: Do you have hires pics?

Is no face moon correct on this?
serial dates it to about 1950. Could be, could not.

Wow that was quick! I thought it was very high but I guess the pink pink is desirable.
