On second thought: maybe the entire case is a replacement. Don’t really look UG

That would make more sense.

Further pictures from the consignor of this one can be found on IG as well:

Nice piece but estimate is definitely ambitious.

there seems to be trends in recent years that these small cases with large round pushers command a premium (but nothing like this asking price). They do look cool in pics but the reality for me is they are still very small case size and for that reason not especially interesting for me to wear. If the case was 36-38mm it would be amazing !!

I think the entire case is a replacement - normally the spacer used on the larger-sized 262s is a solid piece of metal.

I thought this one was interesting - movement reported as UG (but no pictures). Had a nibble but it went for more than I was ready for.

Pity! It was to be taken. Delcona in the period made quality pieces with Universal Geneve and Omega (Lemania) calibres. My Delcona with 33.3.

Interesting Cloisonne offered on IG:

Not sure about the originality of the case back though. Ref. 20947 on an 18k gold case?
Interesting for sure. That guy is a known frankensteiner often using fake bezels on his dive watches. Caseback looks weird to me too plus the I am 90% sure the dial is not from UG and an aftermarket one (although it is cloissone and it does look very nice).
