A watch that came with another purchase has me scratching my head.

It sort of has the usual info on the case back but my first impression is that it's a FrankenUni because of the Vertex movement.

Does anybody know?

Cheers

Could you post a picture of the movement?

 

I'll see what I can do.

 

Have you opened it to see if its got a UG stamp in the back of the case and on the mechanism?

 

I don't think that's a UG. From what I can see on the case back (or the inside of the case) there's nothing linking it to UG and the mechanism is not UG. I would say that the only thing UG about this watch is the dial. The outside serial numbers do not correspond to anything UG.

 

Excellent

 

Definitely not a UG. As @Jonatan said, maybe the only part UG is the dial.

It's a Milex from the 1940s to 60s. They were a well known lower tier brand. You can pick up a little brother for this one on eBayPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
