This was (potentially) a nice buy. Sold for EUR 1.400. https://www.astedams.it/uk/auction-0085/orologio-da-polso-universal-geneve-in-oro-18-k-19920.asp (edit: added 2nd picture)

looks very similar to this one. Ref 2040

Agreed. The lug detail is different (but that is about the only difference)

Thanks. Much appreciated. I try to see everything that comes to the market or is posted on internet. But after 2-3 years of doing that I still run into the occasional goldmine.

interesting that it's in such good condition overall except for the dial. I guess some kind of environmental factor? The hands and moonphase disc look in amazing condition. Weird.

He’s asking 6K €. I’m not pursuing but interested to know if this is a fair price or not (I’ll be looking for on in ‘23).

Even if the watch is NOS, the dial does not look like that. Can it be carefully cleaned? Who knows... I am not sure if it just humidity, it can also be oil.

Question is: Would you be willing to pay the price? 6K € is a lot of money.

Well, at least the patina/damage whatever it is is relatively consistent. I suppose one could enjoy that watch and that spectacular case until a new dial could be sourced if it bothered the owner. 6K though? Too much.

To find this watch in this condition is a miracle ! Most UG TDM are in horrible condition and or redials ! In reality this one is one of the best examples out there IMHO ! 6k is a bit pricey?

I got an example but the dial has patina and they took off the sharp ends of the lugs !

Dibs!

the one on the right is already gone, it was NOS with inner and outer box, hang tag, original strap, buckle. I've never seen anything like it. Happily with another collector from OF so still in the family.
