I see that the movement is marked "Adjusted Two Positions" as we might expect to see on a chronometer movement.

I've seen that on other GP signed Cal 287 but not on a UG. Not sure there is any great significance, just an observation.

Intruiguing. Tanknumber for this reference leads to a batch of 150 (serial)-200 (movement) pieces. Only other 223.xxx movements are in 241102's but these are the gold/copper colored

I’ve only ever seen a GP Tri in this reference (22539) and they are always adjusted 2 positions. I just assumed they were going for slightly upmarket compared to UG

Very nice dial for GP TriCompax IMHO.

What do we think of the dial of this 22405? I think redial but not a bad one...https://www.chrono24.nl/universalgenve/compax-ref-22405-handaufzug-cal-285--id25908602.htm

Nice Jaeger 12554 which will be auctioned somewhere in France. Best pics the auction house could produce. Lower estimate EUR 8k excl fee

The infamous Lorologiese returns with another UG offering.

https://www.lorologiese.com/en/home...930s-oversize-40mm-chronograph-cal-16-34.html

The dial on this one looks legit (complete with the fonts on the mid 30's UG logo and the faded outer numbering) but the case seems too polished?

No direct reference of this in Sala's book but there are some in gold that have similar cases.

This lovely-looking TDM was on sale but now seems to have been sold. The price was compelling at GBP 2750, but I am not sure about the dial.

Aren't these supposed to have a "Swiss" at the bottom, below 6 and a red 31 in the date?

Ah well, too late for regrets. Funky numerals on the dial too!
