Hi All

I am about to buy this watch offered to me,
I have checked the dates and stamps and as it is a 1930s UG does not have the reference number on the outside but it may be 621979??
Everything looks correct to me, but not certain of the dial? And also the 2 pushers dont look the same?

Thanks in advance.

Dial is decades later

so modern dial on a older body and movement? What year is the dial do you think?

That is not a 1930s uni compax. Case is 30's but movement and dial are much later. Here is an interesting link that talks about the UG 285 ...

Thanks for that , did not know of this site.It does talk about the 285 movement, but I am still unclear how to differential the era of the dials?

Dont believe everything you read on the internet. 285 is perfectly fine for this serial.
