路Of the many UG that have passed through my hands, this Triple Date Moonphase is currently my favorite dress watch. With the dress watch category, it's obviously a chance to go for more flair and less practical, which is fun. Not worried about waterproof or a design that is less likely something I would choose to wear often.
The things I like about it are:
1) exotic case style
2) rose gold
3) two tone dial
4) art deco numbers, in foil, with deep copper color
For me, these work together to form a perfect dress watch. I only have one slight issue, at 34.5mm this is the smallest watch in my rotation. It works just fine for a dress watch, but I would love to have this exact style in 36-37mm case for a few weeks to compare and see which I prefer. On paper I like the bigger size, but who knows, in person, might prefer the smaller one.
The two tone dial and foil numbers are hard to catch in the light.......
It's in good overall condition, I like that the moonphase disc still has most of it's blue paint, which is a nice contrast to the rose gold case.
You can see this exact watch in the UG advert below. To date I have seen other examples in different color combinations, but never another one in this exact configuration. I hope there are more out there !
If I were to pick a second favorite, it would probably be this 14K yellow gold Tri. It was in my hands for about 5 minutes before my gf grabbed it for keeps 馃槈
You can see the color difference between the 18K rose and the 14K yellow here, although the color is more pronounced in person.
I think the combo with the vintage Fostner band was what really grabbed my gf, it was nice to see her fall for a vintage watch just as hard as me 馃榾
Anyhow, would love to see other examples of people's favorite dress UG, whatever that might be, please share 馃憤
