I remember Ben had a nice one. I already own two Outdoorsman … don’t need any more. I’d buy it for the kid but he got the Baltic GMT for his birthday.

Seller has it $795, a Rolex bubble back same size from that era would be $$$.? In todays vintage market what would you estimate the value ?

Interesting to see the dial variations on these. Yours is cool with the 24 hour blue outer track.

Bit under the radar this one. Described as 'Two Swiss Open-face Watches'. https://live.skinnerinc.com/lots/view/4-3RXVX4/two-swiss-open-face-watches. Sold for USD 2.500 excl fee (and that price was already there for days). Remarkably

This is an interesting one. Of all the 1000's of UG's I looked at to compile my movement number database I can't recall seeing a '000' one but they do exist: https://www.ebay.com/itm/255207037295?hash=item3b6b86596f:g:pIUAAOSwCXVhgFuz

We've spoken about the Spectator recently. Did anyone here have a nibble?

One of the few where the lume doesn’t look like mold.

was watching that one. That’s quite a sum for a catalog. Now I’m wondering what my 1937 Zenith/Universal one would go for

very cool. It's always nice to get the corresponding case references in SS and gold when they list both together for the same example

The want was strong on this one. It is the nicest UG catalogue I have seen for a long time.

Special mention to the Compax 12392 in gold. I have never seen this reference documented outside of Sala and I can't recall ever having seen a photograph of a real one. One of the best UG dials ever produced in my opinion.

Now seems like a good time to revisit this classic thread;

Only one I know of is this one with a service(?) dial: https://www.kaplans.se/en/auktioner/3114/vara/1260706

Strange old parts box that was sold on the 'Bay:

I bought that one.

I was assuming it was a box for pocket watches given the illustration and padded compartments.
