··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.There is something fishy about the watch - A calendar model. None of the reference examples have the moon phase cutting into the 6 like that.

Sala can't have every single model - he owns about 150 chronographs but the calendar /moonphase selection is not as exhaustive.
(and when I look at all the references he has in there, there are some in which the 6 completely disappears, others where some of the indexes are cut and the proportions look similar to this....)

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Just got the book so I've not got a practiced eye as yet. That's why this forum has helped with the three that I own.

·Yeah. Just keep in mind that the book isn't scripture, as Syrte said. It contains only a fraction of the offerings of UG and some photos in the book are of redials.

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Not scripture????? For $300 bucks it ought to be! 😡
Just kidding .. I know it's directional from all the debating that goes on. Still it's really fun to dig into and a great accomplishment.

Here's another UG with a very similar dial design to the previous one:

·Are late 90s / early 2000's considered vintage by now? 😁
Zenith El Primero Chronomaster ref. 14 01.0240.410
Glamor shot:
Movement shots:
Wrist shot:
Blancpain manual wind 17 jewels, 34 mm
Movement shot:
Also, not that old (mid-2000's I believe), but a nice implementation of the more common ETA 7751 (Longines cal. 678.2) in a Longines Master Collection (no longer in my possession, one of the watches I regret selling the most):

Farsi!
"After the Islamic conquest of the Persian Sassanian Empire in 642 AD, Arabic became the language of government, culture and especially religion. Modern Persian appeared during the 9th century. It is written in a version of the Arabic script and is full of words of Arabic origin."
