    Doesn't look legit, in my inexpert view.

    I am no expert and I don't mean to offend. I have never seen that type of hands on any UG, the pushers are also weird and the crown is too very thick.

    Have you opened the watch to see if there are any markings either on the case back or on the mechanism itself. Usually you should have a triple signes and not just a dial. It would be nice to have better pictures of the dial so that we could see if the font fits with UG. For the moment it looks like the entire case is not Universal but I can't say much about the dial.

    Sorry!

    Those pushers don't even seem to match that case!

    There are countless different Uni-Compax models, ranging from 3 decades of history - many of which look absolutely nothing like the asymmetrical UG you just posted and the original example fits none of them.

    It's a ...

    Greetings, been lurking for a while but I'm a very newbie member here, thanks for your understanding. Is this one supposed to be a franken? It looks stunning.
    Best regards,

    S.,

    The asymmetrical watch you reposted is not a franken. It's a 60's, legit Compax.

    I am refering to the one posted by Ping Pong Patina.
