That watch and that bracelet together are ... ROSE GOLD OVERLOAD.

I love it.

EDIT: Too bad about the script, with the word "Genève" it looks a bit ... hand-drawn? And there's a disconnect between the "E" and the "R" in "Universal", they are not on the same line. Looks like the dial has been re-"finished" / lines redrawn by hand in the script. Pity.

Agreed with you observations. However: I've never seen a full gold UG dial before so no comparison

I think the script might be rather engraved than printed.

Interesting 5166. Dial is obviously replaced because watch is UG and dial Uweco. Dial is legit I think but I've never seen the Datum print before

Case is also pretty far gone. Too bad. Assume this is priced as a nice daily wearer watch.

Interesting one. https://www.chrono24.nl/all/jaeger-...h--white-gold-750--nos--1940s--id31894673.htm

I'd rather think this is a Jaeger or LeCoultre than a Vacheron. No idea why they come up with the Vacheron connection anyway other than the clasp. However: never seen one without a name on it before. Pics are not that sharp anyway so it may even be a redial


Edit: had contact with seller. He sent a pic of the inside caseback. Jaeger movement, reference and serial number so 0 VC connection besides the clasp. Asking was already lowered to 10k. Complete joke
