Anyone been following this one? Patina on this one gives it real character IMO, but I'm no expert on dials/fonts for these UG watches. Thoughts?

I was just about to link it! haha.

I think its lovely, the numerals are something I have been looking at but I've my eye on a few other fun pieces. I think i'll give it a pass. The patina on the dial is quite unique.

hey any thoughts on this dial?
The hour hand does not match the minute hand.
The hand on the topsub dial is incorrect.
There is no hyphen between the aero compax

Yeap. I saw this too. The ug print is too bold. Aeroncompax font is too spaced out.

Sub dial 6 o clock has wrong hands.

Give it a pass.

Ah... i see it now.
The seller himself is unsure if the dial is original.
The dial looks so nice on first glance though.

Definitely a redial. Aesthetically it looks nice but not close to original.

I think he knows.... but it is a nice redial, one of the best I have seen recently.

I have a feeling it might be pretty small. Did you ask for the case size?

Probably. I asked and waiting to hear back. I think the case is very interesting

Somehow we both missed it. And I even thought I searched for "mm". Maybe the seller is lurking and added it to the listing. 😀

Basically you’re an idiot but I’ll be nice reply

As stated in the description, the case diameter is 30 mm excluding the crown.

Thank you for your interest.

Best regards,
