Probably the most expensive UG ever posted here: https://www.thebeautifulwatch.com/products/universal-geneve-chronograph-oversize-from-the-1940s. 'With its 52mm case, black dial, and a known production run of only two examples': I assume they mean this is the 2nd one known (actually the 4th). Reference will be 7445. Asking unknown but I think in the region of a nice new car.
Interesting that no one mentioned this Nina on Loupe This.

As the commenter wrote, it's disappointing that Loupe This would call this excellent condition with that dial. That said, the platform appears to be getting better pricing recently, and UG is "hot". It will be interesting see how much this one sold for.

Word of warning on this one: https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...46544041.htm?searchHash=92ae3a04_AIKyil&pos=5
Caseback is total fantasy....
Perhaps the first redial I really like: https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...46542658.htm?searchHash=db042b66_PoJnpy&pos=1

I was the one who commented on their grading. I'm usually very supportive of Loupethis and have even bought/won on the platform, but that 8.5/excellent grading was just bonkers, though I appreciate them replying back and being clear on what they meant (which still doesn't forgive the galvanized self-rating).
This - fantastic - 22515 sold for EUR 19k (incl. fee): https://drouot.com/en/l/33535805-universal-geneve-uni-compax-chronograph-wristwatch-round. One can doubt whether the dial is original to the watch btw
