Seller really got angry when I suggested this dial was redone 🙄

I don’t know why but the UG section of the site always seems like its having the most fun for some reason, the Seiko guys only drink at the local RSL during happy hour.

Well: these are the better ones. The original ones looked like they were taken during the lapdance

Meanwhile, I present to you this very unique dial - I'm thinking it may even be a prototype!

It's an abomination that I wouldn't pay $20 for. And since when is 33.5mm a "so-called jumbo" watch?

Any markings on the underside? Any indication of who made it - e.g. G.F., Henry & Cie etc ?

I saw this on instagram the other day, I don't even think it's for sale but does anyone know more about this ref? I haven't seen anything like it before.

No....That's because it never existed.

Argentian Air Force. Very rare. It's in Sala. Pretty cool how they modified to eliminate the subdials. 37mm !

I bought another example, identical to this (but not the exact same one) on ebay a while back, and I have seen one other. So that's three I've seen. However the lack of UG marks, etc has raised concerns on these?

I'm in two minds over as well. The style of bracelet and clasp is more commonly seen on the cal 42 mechanicals and they typically have the 1960 logo - but then the one on this bracelet is 1957 so it could be classed as transitional?



The second bit is the bracelet maker - we don't have any data on Finesse. I'd probably be happy to wear this bracelet but I don't think I'd pay the asking price without more proof.

That page you show was altered at some point. Here is the original which was put together by "Antiquorum". The original page, did not have the 60s logo (which is actually a 70s logo), or the 1965 logo (which is correct). I am unsure why it was altered. Dating the 70s logo to the 60s, could have been a genuine mistake ...

Here is the original page.

As far as finesse bracelet goes, a very knowledgeable forum member has seen a few of these and confirms that they are not original UG stock.

Not with that font it didn't ... or that lume, second hand or crown.
