Service crown (NBD IMO) ... possible relume on hands, I believe someone attempted to clean the dial. Never ends well.

The UG font is a bit unusual. No 31 on the date ring. Radial numbers on the seconds subdial. No 3/6/9 on the minutes subdial. Anyhow my gut said it was probably OK, but I didn't research. It seems like others had doubts as no one was bidding on it for a long time, and it didn't go very high.

None of that concerns me. What hurt it was dial condition.

Hello there, universal lover, i was wondering what's the problem with this UG nina on eBay :
https://www.ebay.fr/itm/392625227770?ViewItem=&item=392625227770
If it's a legit one, why is the guy left it for 10000€?
Any ideas?
thanks

I didn't study it in detail but I think it was just a bit tired with a pretty worn bezel and grubby registers on the dial.

Mint examples seem to command huge prices but prices drop off fairly quickly where condition is not perfect. I think that probably applies across the whole vintage watch market.

you're right, the best is better, even more now that it's become rare.
thanks for your answer

It’s a bit chewed up. My bigger issue with these is that nice V72 like this are out there for less....

You might even pay more if you replace the coronet with a fleur de lis.

Has anyone ever seen a dial like this? With this double signature?

The other items listed by this Indian seller don't exactly fill me with confidence.

Double-signed UGs are a thing.

I would love the Lucknow link to be real but, if even if it was, that dial is distinctly not pukka.

This is on C24 by Private Eyes, am I missing something or is this a fairly obvious redial?

This was just offered to me at 14K Euros (5K euros discount !!!). I tried to tell the seller it was worth only a little for parts, but he says it's one of the most valuable UG in the world, even more valuable than Film Compax 🤨
