Perhaps but it did not feel like it and the pics were 'unique'

Anyone a clue what we have here? https://www.catawiki.com/nl/l/65238...nte-kaliber-281-heren-schweiz-um-1950#gallery

UG disco volante but US import code RXG which, according to Ranfft is 'R. Gsell & Co. Inc., Cortebert, Olympic, Zodiac'. Caseback looks legit UG but appears to be unnumbered (although the pics are not made at the right angle)

I want to say franken …. But it all kinda works….

I'd speculate that this is a 1940s ref.12201 which was at some point refurbished using a 60s dial, hand set and crown.

serial number is 750***
Case is legit, but for sure with wrong dial and handset.

So case is numbered? And also reference? And what do you make of the import code?

Seller said that serial is 722556 (not 750, I remembered it wrongly) and ref 12, the last 3 digits were consumed.

Movement is without a doubt an UG 281 caliber, so I guess Ranfft was simply wrong 😁 Or at least, we now have an exception to that rule.

Well, that doesn't sound very UG-like at all, does it? 🙄

Interesting 4 digit: 5423. According to the seller original dial (I think it is not...) but still a very nice watch https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...ced-von-ca-1937-ready-to-wear--id26793130.htm

Interesting baby chrono. Cal 290. Local made French case. Anyone a clue about the 'L<tree>C' mark? Link: https://www.chrono24.nl/jaegerlecou...er-290-yellow-gold-18kt-1937s--id26801596.htm
