Remarkable one. This seller always sells Jaeger's with similar dials. This one is a very late one and EB (but the inscription is a bit off) . Can't recall having seen a Jaeger EB. Anyway: https://www.chrono24.nl/jaegerlecou...36061119.htm?searchHash=806612d6_E017Zv&pos=1

Can't recall having seen a Jaeger EB.

I don't think they exist.
This is (just) one of the reasons why I'd run away from this watch, to be honest.

1) 12494 is a UG ref
2) dial is reprinted
3) caseback does not have UG or Jaeger logo (I believe they somehow filled it with gold)
4) movement bridge is not original to the rest

Two additional Jaeger chronographs with similar issues currently offered on ebay:

Ref. 22485:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/204968920159


Ref. 22521:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/204968929742

I suspect the dials might have been redone by the same redialer.

Both were previously sold recently by Mehlis auctioneers in Germany:

There are much more of them unfortunately

Anyway: back to nice and correct watches. One of my hobbies is being the underbidder. This early 12551 - first series so with the protruded pushers - just sold for CHF 3.566 or EUR 3.800. Link: https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/montre-univesal-tricompax-chronographe-quantieme-or-750-1268177828/ Probably for sale at one of our trading friends for 6k in 3 months

Interesting 22267. Reference is Compur but the others I have recorded have Uni Compax dials. Too bad this dial is in such poor condition. Movement is matching https://es.wallapop.com/item/reloj-universal-geneve-compur-crono-283-1042104990 Tank number suggest production of 229 pieces so probably a batch of 200-250. Asking is EUR 1.500

Hey guys!

Some of you may remember the ebay 22536 posted here many months back. I was the winner of that auction and just finished restoring the watch. If anyone is curious, here are some before and after pictures 😀 The mid-case on this one was broken below both pushers. I had a local shop laser weld the case and I did all of the servicing myself. You will be happy to note that the case wasn't polished or touched during the repair, the shop was able to use an ultrasonic file to locally shape that area without touching the rest of the case.

The dial sure is gorgeous under a new crystal. Anyway, apologies if this is the wrong place to post. I figure the guys who saw the ebay listing might like to see it though. I can't stop looking at it, that's for sure. 😀

Amazing work. Love to see this restored to its former beauty..

Thought I was winning but the site was not updating (or so). https://aukro.cz/panske-chronograph-berthoud-geneve-7070208748

Nice dial. Midcase is not correct. Backcase looks to be in very poor condition but is legit.

Very funny. USD 20k for a redial. Seller knows it is a redial because everything is described as original but the dial 😉 https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...36268858.htm?searchHash=72bd11d2_qjxq7K&pos=1

This is a rare bird. Diameter is 32.5mm I think. Dial is probably later but nice. https://www.chrono24.nl/universalgenve/horloge--id36283569.htm?searchHash=72bd11d2_PKDGIg&pos=2

This is an interesting one. 100% legit but no serial. Not the first time I've seen it: https://www.ebay.it/itm/335582659204

Close movement serial here: https://watchcharts.com/listing/560...m-movement-chrono-radium-dial-waterproof-case for comparison

My LBC account is blocked so I can not buy it but this is an absolute bargain: https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/livres/2847606779
If someone here buys it I want the Cartier because I tipped you. I'll pay shipping ;-)

What to many harassing messages asking for serial numbers? 😉

Not at all. Tried to buy but one can only buy with a fully confirmed account which requires a French mobile number. Seller agreed on PP and I sent my PP adress in a picture but even that was seen....
