The description is incomplete. The finish is usually mirror like (not mirror as not totally reflective/shiny). This watch someone just gave it a brush finish.

I am not sure about market but having no serial no. In my opinion is an important matter for Nina and Clapton.

Interesting piece on ebay this morning.

A quick search shows at least 3 exist...

Sweep second hand has been replaced.

I assume this bezel does not rotate?

 

Bezel is fixed, looks great. Price is also great....

 

Thanks for your thoughts. Saving up some pennies to try and snag a good example — doesn’t have to be perfect but the serial is an important aspect. Will pass on this — I just got outbid again anyways.

 

Is there some debate on the reference number as well?

 

I have a Clapton with the same issue of no reference on the back case. Obviously people polished them off back in the day . Nice looking example.

 

Visible reference and serial numbers are becoming more and more valuable for all UG watches.
I tend to avoid examples that don't have any.

 

1940's UG with unnamed dial does this seem right?

probably a franken watch

 

Dial, hands, crown look wrong

 

Well, it has concluded at $13,666. What do you all think about the winning price? Good price for a scrubbed serial Nina Rindt?

 

The replacement crown would be an issue for me. I suspect finding a replacement is very difficult.

That said, the price was modest compared to a mint and all original version and probably quite fair for what was just a slightly tired example.

 

Fair price for what it is IMHO.

 

Hello. I have been looking for a correct dial for my 18k rose gold Uni-Compax.
I’ve given up.

Yes, the dial is refinished.

 

Thanks for the response. Still getting a bit of an idea of the UG market before I commit to a higher budget in buying.


What about this Evil Clapton?

Probably worth reaching out to him directly if interested

I notice he has a large number of UG boxes for sale too that are all open to offer

 

It seems a good idea and he seems a nice guy. Sometimes he has great polerouters for sale.

Maybe he will reply to the thread. And yes the boxes are top

 

I got a chuckle when I saw a Universal Geneva Paul router for sale on ebay recently.
Description went on to say: "Case:It has a lot of scratches and grubby. Dial:It has a lot of scratches and grubby."
Don't usually see that kind of truth in advertising on ebay!
