·I think it's worth to have a thread on it's own.
Referring to a post of @Mark020 in the "UG for Sale on ebay" section (Enigma with GP signed movement but nothing else indicates GP - dial at first sight not branded):
This is the same case like the UG/Berthoud.
indicated reference 7067 - also posting the overview from @Mark020 here:
For this watch there is only a serial no. engraved but not a reference / Brand.
So I searched and found some similar watches with highpressure case and same bezeltype but one is Vetta signed dial/movement and one is unsigned.
So no real pattern.

Compared to the Vetta/Bovet 5347 these watches all have fixed lugs and a slightly different bezel type. But I assume there are also similar 5347 with same bezel style and fixed lugs. Assuming earlier production?!
The serials engraved on the outside on those 3 watches are
GP: 23972
Vetta: 24064
No brand: 26xxx (not visible but it was auctioned this or last year in Switzerland - maybe someone still has pictures of the serial?)
They all have unbranded caseback with "modele depose" inside and similar case style like the UG 7067 and mention only "waterproof" on the outside plus the serial number.
At least for the Vetta #24064 and the GP # 23972 another similar pattern is the dial and hand style as they have similar Breguet indices and hands.
Any thoughts on this or maybe some knowledge existing on those serial no. ranges in those highpressure cases?
In addition would be great to know who produced those cases.
