Hi OF, I was meaning to post this as a wrap for 2019 so a couple weeks late I suppose. It's been an interesting journey over the past three to four years for me personally, from discovering the UG brand right here on OF to spending countless hours poring over threads with fascinating pictures and equally fascinating discussions. Along the way, I've collected and sold quite a few pieces - four Polerouters, a Monodatic, a Compur, a Uni-Compax, a Triple Date Moonphase and a couple time only pieces. In 2019 I decided to be more strategic with what I truly wanted vs what simply looked nice or was a good deal. I seem to have a soft corner for early UG's and that is reflected in the three pieces I picked up and they now comprise my mini UG collection I can't say I wear them often but still seeing them in the watchbox every morning is a joy. In 2020 I’ll be looking to add a nice Tri Compax but for now thought I’ll share some nice pics I took this morning. Universal 'Watch' Compur 1st Gen Oversized 37.5mm circa 1934 Universal Geneve Compur Multi-Color Dial 35mm circa 1936 (thanks @bgrisso ) Universal Geneve Dato-Compax Oversized 37.5mm circa 1942 Hope you enjoyed the pics!
Wow some terrific watches here and confirmation, at last, that @bgrisso is involved in at least half of all UG transactions on OF.
I would like to propose that @bgrisso , since he has the majority of the desirable UGs in this forum, invites us all round to his Palace for an evening of whiskey, viewing and in depth discussion on the subject ...
Uh ... I’ve seen some of what’s in your vault. You may still be on the leader board. Do agree though...
That's very kind but I'm not sure how accurate I'm in California, would be fun to do west coast UG gtg at some point.
