Obviously an UG redial of a Berthoud

A microtor only dial 10357-1 (1844416) sold for €1000 even.

Yes, I hope to have bought this one.

I provided the seller with some information about the watch and asked him how much he would accept for it. To my surprise, he accepted my opening offer. He seemed grateful for the help and even asked me about some other watches he owned.

All that said, I haven’t received it yet and the movement may be a complete wreck or missing altogether.

Fingers crossed.

Interesting case on this Monodate. Never seen a mixed-metal Monodate before, do we think it's legit? This dial I have seen before on an example sold by Oliver&Clarke last year. Caseback on this one also the same as that particular example.

This - rare - 12482 was sold for CHF 8.500 excl fee: https://ineichen.com/auctions/175-1/73/ Very nice case IMHO (but I'm not 100% sure about the dial...). I have 3 12482's on record - with numbered movement - and serials in high 1.004.9xx and low 1.005.0xx. Interesting is that this one does not have one

Others:
AQ sold one in 2006: https://catalog.antiquorum.swiss/en/lots/lot-108-648 (proof that UG prices are basically flat...)

If that dial is not legit, it's a heck of a re-dial job!

Pretty sure it’s a redial - or at least has been re-lumed. Check out how the lume on the 10 creeps into the subdial, and the sloppy bottom of the lume on the 4, at minimum. Just my two cents. But I’d avoid.

So what do you think about this 'Contax'? Just sold: https://www.antiquewatch-carese.com/mens-watch/UNIVERSAL/mo935.html. BTW: interesting number on the lug

I want to believe this dial is original… I doubt it though.

here’s another ‘almost identical’ dial on a dubious Zenith. Look familiar?

Me too. Very nice one but just not sharp enough
