Nice Zenith 22314 coming up for sale: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci4hZX5L38M/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Finally on the website. Ref 22314. Too bad no movement pics. Another one of the UG's in disguise. I think the lugs were repaired. https://vintagewatchleader.com/coll...ronograph-ref-22314-caliber-136-vintage-watch

What gives you that impression 😀?

Mark020 · Oct 5, 2022

Well it is obviously a theory but this one fits - rather good - in with others I have on record

Jaeger 12447 with rather cool caseback inscription (and of course a redial): https://www.ebay.com/itm/255757858166

Jumbo 22430 with recent UG extract. I was not aware they still do these. Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/CjX5C0Yj-a_/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link & https://en.watch-spare.com/watches/universal-geneve-compax-oversize-ref-22430.html

I don't think there's something more useless than a UG extract.

Basically they will say that a (for instance) 22409 case is... a 22409 case. 😁

Mark020 · Oct 6, 2022

Agreed but still interesting to see somebody at UG is still alive

This would be a contender for the worst redial ever...

Mark020 · Oct 9, 2022

Interesting 12244 . Dial may be original but I lean towards redone. https://www.ebay.fr/itm/155200800676

crazy that looks like a time only jeanneret case ? Never seen such a thing. Not sure on the dial but I lean skeptical

Mark020 · Oct 9, 2022

Pics of the inside caseback. 166 without a doubt so indeed Jeanneret

wow, quite something !

here is what I would say is a more typical dial printing, although this is case serial 825XXX, so a bit earlier

(click on the pic to zoom in on the printing)

What an intriguing little watch. I have never seen a cal. 262 (or any other time-only calibre, for that matter) inside a HJ case either.

It's just terrific to see and appreciate the lines of this lovely case without the block pushers. Never, ever, a dull moment with UG!

Mark020 · Oct 10, 2022

Well I’ve got news for you: mine is 166 as well
Other font for the reference though

Mark020 · Oct 10, 2022

Interesting is that a close sibling - serial 831.310 and ref 11271 - has a Jung made case (128): https://jewelry.ha.com/itm/timepiec...se-gold-wristwatch-circa-1950-s/a/687-59572.s. Perhaps ther may even have been a ref 11272 which then will have been made in a batch of 50-75 pieces.

Another close one with unfortunately no inside CB pics (and kind of impossible to link because Henry's but ID: 24691564 and catalogue number: 09-03349)
