I agree that the bracelet looks a bit odd. This case style was mainly kitted out with a Unisonic movement - obviously it's possible that the resemblance is superficial and that the case/lug sizes are different but I doubt it. I have the Unisonic and the lugs are 18mm and the bracelet (which came off a different Unisonic but with the same case) fits perfectly - perhaps with the caveat that it doesn't perfectly follow the angular shape of the lugs.

And this is where the bracelet came from.

Based on this advert that I've seen for sale on Ebay (I must get a copy one day) I believe it to be the correct bracelet for the case.

Judging by the number of 17mm NOS OEM straps on Ebay UG clearly made lots of watches with 17mm lugs and possibly either your bracelet or endpieces were originally destined for one of those - or they've been filed down for some inexplicable reason?

Good luck with sourcing replacement endpieces as you'll need it- there seems to have been a bit of a feeding frenzy with UG bracelets of late but that's probably more the case with the 19/20mm lug ones. I see that there's a Melbourne-based Ebay seller that seems to have a stock of UG bracelets but I can't see that he has what you need.

On the Aero Compax--redial to my eye, at least a few of the subdials and the outer numbering.. Maybe some polishing of the case as well. I'm not a full on expert, but this is just my opinion!

No affiliation with seller and I'm not a UG fanboy just yet, but I noticed this on the French chronomania forum going for 2200 euros. Don't know what the prices are for UG subs, but maybe someone's interested.

Thanks for your detailed post! Your watch is in great condition. The endlinks definitely look a bit mangled, and the case of your unisonic looks the same as the case on the III i bought. Is the bracelet on your watch signed? The only thing that makes me think the bracelet on the one I bought is incorrect is the different logo.

I've just had another look at the Ebay listing of yours - the bracelet seems to have some sort of divers extension. Either that, again, suggests that it isn't the right bracelet or that was the nearest one to hand from the parts bin as it left the factory.

I'd say dial is good, but not the cleanest. Price is ridiculous.

The watch arrived today...
