    I wanted to point this one out for your interest, as it is an example of an early cal. 215 in which you can see under the rotor that UG's Microtor patent is still pending. The "patent pending" engraving is absent in later 215's.

    While the lugs are a bit smooth, the dial itself is a nice and clean execution.

    Crummy low-res photos but clearly a re-dial.

    I would say it is a little messy. when a watchmaker forgets to put back the movement retaining screws and tabs then it is a sign that he may well not have been up to the job

    :whipped: unforgivable mr watchmaker!

    I have looked closely at that watch and it has all sorts of problems.

    1) The hand on the 6 o'clock register is the thin type from the older style watch and doesn't match the other registers.

    2) The second hand should be bright red, not orange.

    3) The second hand is too long.

    4) The bridge has been recently replaced and is not the correct piece for this movement.

    It's a shame, as I got very excited when I first saw it. I hope someone isn't silly enough to pay the asking price for it!

    Ha! Now this model is a "Nina" too? Well then I hereby declare my watch an "Evil Clapton Triple-Date Moon-Phase Nina."
    Let the bidding begin at $30,000.
