(Is it me or does the text look asymmetric?)

It's you 😉 (assumning you are talking about the colonial)
The missing "hairline" on the left of the inner circle make the printing look not aligned. But it is centered when compared to the 12.

It is (but for the avoidance of doubt: copied from the C24 listing and not written by me)

no, starts with 4 as it is gold plated.
Do you have better pics? The ones provided are too small to be completely sure, but I vote for redial and wrong hour and minute hand.

mediocre to poor redial, hour/minute hands wrong as @Oku said, replacement crown

Prima is definitely a thing - we even have one on the Tre tacche thread here:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/universal-tre-tacche-colonial-wristwatch.75152/

The watch is clearly 30s rather than 40s. I got excited for a moment as I thought I had a bitsa that might be able to furnish a replacement case but unfortunately the movement is different (though also unsigned and a 3-hander with a subdial).

Quite curious if any one here won it? Will be keen if the case if nicely replaced.

Nice deal on this one I think: USD 15.120 https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/...aph-wristwatch-351/154309?ldp_breadcrumb=back

Interesting case

Case and dial look similar to mine (without the golden parts)

Sometimes I really wonder what people have been smoking: https://www.chrono24.nl/universalgenve/universal-geneve-uni-compax-jumbo--id24255770.htm. I mean: nice 22409 but price is 3-4 times market (and then I ignore the lume)

This one makes more sense then. One of the last Jaegers with UG movement: https://www.chrono24.nl/jaegerlecou...ose-gold-vintage-1953-kal-285--id24253355.htm

Anyone a clue what we have here? Cal 484? Obviously a UG (UG serial and reference 12311 and UG movement number): https://www.chrono24.nl/jaegerlecou...18k-gold-1950-kal-484-vintage--id24222314.htm

The watch itself is not that interesting but the configuration is:
- one of the earliest UG's - serial 700.xxx - with visible movement numbers
- serial inside CB and - 4 digit - reference on the outside

Picked this up earlier. Bit tired and I'm not sure it's even a UG case but looking forward to taking a closer look.

Very nice and very interesting. Would not be suprised if this is UG with numbers inside

I'll get it cleaned up and let you know.

Any idea whether it might be possible to find a suitable replacement crystal? I've never looked into rectangular crystals with curved profiles.
